| Abstract | A survey was carried out on forest soils and grassland soils from Hebei and Sichuan Provinces using Tenebrio molitor larvae as a bait and high-throughput DNA sequencing (HTS) of the fungal ITS2 ribosomal DNA was used to monitor the natural distribution of 3 leading hypocrealean families of insect fungal pathogens (Clavicipitaceae, Cordycipitaceae and Ophiocordicipitaceae). The occurrence of insect fungal pathogens in soil samples from 98 different sites were compared. The use of insect bait indicated that entomopathogenic fungi of genus Metarhizium were predominant, followed by Beauveria and Isaria. Molecular characterization using the Mz_FG543 intergenic region revealed that the Metarhizium species pool was phylogenetically composed of 3 closely-related species as follows; M. pingshaense (n=74), M. robertsii (n=51), and M. brunneum (n=26), as well as 1 isolate which clustered with M. flavoviride. Nine potentially new phylogenetic species were delimited within the M. flavoviride species complex by sequencing of the 5สน-TEF locus. Beauveria (n=64) and Isaria (n=5) isolates were characterized via sequence analyses of the Bloc region. Intergenic spacer phylogeny of the Beauveria isolates assemblage revealed the phylogenetic species within the B. bassiana clade. Interestingly, individuals of M. pingshaense (n=18) and M. brunneum (n=12) exhibited the presence of both mating-types in Sichuan Province. Similarly, for the Beauveria isolates, reproductive mode assays demonstrated that all 4 B. bassiana Sub-clades possessed bipolar outcrossing mating systems. Of these, 19 isolates contained 2 mating-types, and the rest were fixed for single mating-types, revealing opportunities for intra-lineage heterothallic mating. HTS results showed a significantly higher occurrence of the Clavicipitaceae family and the Metarhizium genus in the soil samples. Venn diagram showed that M. anisopliae s.l., I. farinose and B. bassiana as frequently abundant fungal pathogen OTUs (core) across sampling sites, while baiting method showed that the genus of Isaria isolated locally. The Mantel test verified that community dissimilarity increased significantly with geographical distance, suggesting that geographical coordinates are possible factors influencing insect fungal pathogen community composition in the studied sites. This study is the first to highlight the usefulness of utilizing soil baiting and deep sequencing to investigate the population dynamics of entomopathogens in soil. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
