KUBÁTOVÁ A., KOLAŘÍK M., PRÁŠIL K., NOVOTNÝ D. (2004): Bark beetles and their galleries: well-known niches for little known fungi on the example of Geosmithia.   [microfungi, Geosmithia, Scolytidae, ophiostomatoid fungi, yeasts]  Czech Mycology 56(1-2): 1-18   (published: 12th August, 2004)
  abstract   The oak bark beetle (Scolytus intricatus, Scolytidae, Coleoptera) was studied during the years 1997-2003 with respect to the occurrence of microscopic fungi on the surface of its body. Samples were collected in eight localities in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The investigation was focused on all different stages of the beetle’s life cycle: eggs, larvae, adults be for e emergence, adults in generation and maturation feeding (nearly 600 samples), and also on galleries (400 samples). The most frequent fungi associated with S. intricatus were yeasts, Geosmithia spp. and Penicillium spp. Ophiostomatoid fungi were isolated, too. Great attention was paid to the occurrence of Geosmithia spp., which were so far recorded rarely. They were frequently found in all stages of the life cycle of Scolytus intricatus, except for males in maturation feeding. The ecology of Geosmithia spp. in feedings of phloem inhabiting insects is discussed for their negative cellulase production and the ecology of associated insect species. Trees infested with Scolytus intricatus represent a major and still little explored niche of Geosmithia spp.

ŠIMONOVIČOVÁ A. (2001): Supplement to the Checklist of non-vascular and vascular plants of Slovakia. The species of microscopic fungi of the order Eurotiales.   [new records of microscopic fungi (Eurotiales), Checklist of non-vascular and vascular plants of Slovakia]  Czech Mycology 53(2): 173-188   (published: 20th February, 2002)
  abstract   Submited are 50 species of microscopic fungi of the order Eurotiales, which are not listed in the Checklist of non-vascular and vascular plants of Slovakia, part Fungi (Lizoň and Bacigálová 1998). The first group is presented by those microscopic fungi which were isolated only once so far. So we consider them to be scarce or rare. From among 30 species of microscopic fungi more than a halfbelongs to the genus Penicillium (16 species ) or genus Aspergillus (6 species ). The genera Eupenicillium, Eurotium and Paecilomyces have two new species, Emericella and Merimbla only one species. The second group is presented by more frequently isolated species of microscopic fungi. From among 20 species the genus Penicillium dominates with 8 species, followed by the genus Aspergillus with 4 species. Other genera(Byssochlamys, Dichotomomyces, Eupenicillium, Eurotium, Fennellia, Paecilomyces and Talarornyces) are presented with one or two species. From the total number of 50 species of microscopic fungi the prevailing part was isolated from different soils (73.3-75.0 %), from different food stuffs (3.3-30.0 %) and from other sources (23.3-45.0 %), including drinking water, dwellings and different materials in depositories and archives.
