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
se cr etio n: Talaromyces d uclauxi, 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.

AB  - Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) in Drosophila melanogaster represent the basis of chemical communication being involved in
many important biological functions. The aim of this study was to characterize chemical composition and variation of cuticular
profiles in five D. melanogaster strains. These strains were reared for approximately 300 generations on five diets: standard
cornmeal medium and substrates prepared with apple, banana, tomato, and carrot. Differences in quantity and/or quality in
CHCs were assumed as a result of activation of different metabolic pathways involved in food digestion and adaptations to the
particular diet type.
In total, independently of sex and strain, 66 chemical compounds were identified. In females of all strains, 60 compounds were
identified, while, in males, 47 compounds were extracted. Certain new chemical compounds for D. melanogaster were found.
MANOVA confirmed that CHC amounts significantly depend on sex and substrates, as well as on their interactions. Discriminant
analysis revealed that flies belonging to ÐappleÏ and ÐcarrotÏ strains exhibited the most noticeable differences in CHC repertoires.
A non-hydrocarbon pheromone, cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) also contributed to the variation in the pheromone bouquet among
the strains. Variability detected in CHCs and cVAmay be used in the explanation of differences in mating behaviour previously
determined in analyzed fly strains.

AB  - The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts
   of Artemisia judaica L., Artemisia herbaalba Asso. and Artemisia
   arborescens L. (cultivated) from Libya, were analyzed by GC and GC-MS.
   The antimicrobial properties were determined using the broth
   microdilution method against eight bacterial species: Bacillus cereus
   (clinical isolate), Micrococcus flavus (ATCC10240), Listeria
   monocytogenes (NCTC7973), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538), Escherichia
   coli (ATCC35210), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853), Salmonella
   typhimurium (ATCC13311), Enterobacter cloacae (human isolates) and eight
   fungal species: Aspergillus niger (ATCC6275), A. ochraceus (ATCC12066),
   A. versicolor (ATCC11730), A. fumigatus (ATCC1022), Penicillium
   ochrochloron (ATCC9112), P. funiculosum (ATCC10509), Trichoderma viride
   (IAM5061) and Candida albicans (human isolate). The major constituents
   of A. arborescens oil were sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (47.4\%).
   Oxygenated monoterpenes were the dominant constituents in the A. judaica
   and A. herba-alba oils (54.2\% and 77.3\%, respectively). Camphor
   (24.7\%) and chamazulene (20.9\%) were the major components in the
   essential oil of A. arborescens, chrysanthenone (20.8\%),
   cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (17.6\%) and cis-thujone (13.6\%) dominated in
   the A. herba-alba oil, and the major constituents in the A. judaica oil
   were piperitone (30.21\%) and cis-chrysanthenol (9.1\%). The best
   antimicrobial activity was obtained for A. judaica oil and the lowest
   effect was noticed in A. arborescens oil. The effect of the tested oils
   was higher against Gram (+) than Gram (-) bacteria. All three oils
   showed the best antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes
   and the lowest against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli,
   Enterobacter cloacae, compared to streptomycin and ampicillin. All three
   oils showed better antifungal activities than ketoconazole, except A.
   arborescens oil against Aspergillus niger.

AB  - Three adult cave-dwelling ground beetle species were induced to
   discharge secretions of their pygidial glands into vials.
   Dichloromethane extraction was used to obtain the secretions. In total,
   42 compounds were identified by GC/MS analysis. Pheggomisetes ninae
   contained 32 glandular compounds, Laemostenus (Pristonychus) punctatus
   13, whereas Duvalius (Paraduvalius) milutini had nine compounds.
   Caproic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids were present in the samples
   of all analyzed species. Undecane was predominant in the extract of L.
   punctatus. Palmitic acid was the major component in the secretion of D.
   milutini. Finally, the most abundant compounds in P. ninae secretion
   were heptacosene and nonacosadienes. Herein, we present the first data
   on the identification of pygidial gland secretion components in both
   troglophilous and troglobite cave-dwelling ground beetles. Some
   compounds are reported for the first time in the secretions of ground
   beetles and other higher or lower taxa. The adaptation to underground
   life has not led to a reduction or changes in the chemical defense
   mechanism in the analyzed troglophilous and troglobitic Platyninae and
   Trechinae taxa.
