AB  - The antifungal potential of the pygidial gland secretion of the troglophilic ground beetle Laemostenus
punctatus from a cave in Southeastern Serbia against cavedwelling micromycetes, isolated from the same habitat, has
been investigated. Eleven collected samples were analyzed
and 32 isolates of cave-dwelling fungi were documented. A
total of 14 fungal species were identified as members of the
genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Alternaria, Cladosporium,
Rhizopus, Trichoderma, Arthrinium, Aureobasidium,
Epicoccum, Talaromyces, and Fusarium. Five isolates were
selected for testing the antifungal activity of the pygidial gland
secretion: Talaromyces duclauxi, Aspergillus
brunneouniseriatus, Penicillium sp., Rhizopus stolonifer, and
Trichoderma viride. The microdilution method has been applied to detect minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and
minimal fungicidal concentrations (MFCs). The most sensitive isolate was Penicillium sp., while the other isolates demonstrated a high level of resistance to the tested agent.
L. punctatus has developed a special mechanism of producing
specific compounds that act synergistically within the
secretion mixture, which are responsible for the antifungal
action against pathogens from the cave. The results open opportunities for further research in the field of ground beetle
defense against pathogens, which could have an important
application in human medicine, in addition to the environmental impact, primarily.
