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.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
