Abstract
The black timber bark beetle (Xylosandrus germanus) is a strongly invasive ambrosia beetle and an important forest pest in Slovakia. This pest is closely associated with symbiotic fungi used as its food source. We investigated the fungi associated with X. germanus adults in Slovakia. In this study, Beauveria bassiana, B. pseudobassiana, Clonostachys rosea, Fusarium oxysporum, Ophiostoma quercus, Phaeoacremonium scolyti, and Talaromyces amestolkiae were isolated and identified by morphological and molecular analyses. The fungus Ophiostoma quercus was most frequently isolated from living beetles, while the entomopathogenic Beauveria bassiana was the most commonly isolated from dead beetles. The morphological descriptions of fungi based on isolates from the surface of X. germanus adults are provided.
