This thesis is focused on evaluation of the compatibility of entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea with different species of entomopathogenic fungi and mycoparasitic fungi at different temperatures. The strains of species Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium muscarium, Coniothyrium minitans and Clonostachys rosea f. catenulata were selected for experiments base on compatibility. The results showed that combination of I. fumosorosea with species L. muscarium is compatible. The species do not limit to each other in the environment at all temperatures (15, 23 and 25 °C). On the other side, fungus I. fumosorosea in combination with other species have affected their growth and spore production. The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi against larvae Tenebrio molitor was evaluated. The most effective species against larvae were species I. fumosorosea, B. bassiana and M. anisopliae. On the contrary, the smallest effective was observed after infection larvae by L. muscarium. Mycoparasitic fungus C. rosea f. catenulata was not able to directly infect larvae of T. molitor. This species did not infect healthy larvae. However it is able to infect weakened individuals or is growing as saprotrophs on the cadavers.

Beauveria bassiana is used in biological control against the economically significant pests. Detection of morphological and genetic polymorphism between different species and strains isolated in the natural environment is important to study the distribution and effects in the ecosystem. The aim of this study was to determine in which links are "local tribes" with ecological aspects of biological control in protected zone and assess the polymorphism of the sections by using molecular markers. Were analyzed 36 strains collected in the National Park Šumava in the Czech Republic. Polymorphism of these strains was determined according to a sequence of LSU (28S Large Subunit Ribosomal DNA). It is observed that the populations from National Park is closed, "the local tribes" because these methods can be very well characterized and compared with other strains from different parts of the Czech Republic and other countries. Populations from National Park showed no differences in polymorphism. Through this analysis, the sample Bba I101 was aligned. This preparation is re-used for bark beetle occurring in the National Park Šumava in the Czech Republic. This study was supported by grants GACR 521/08/H042, MSM 60076658-06, MGA SP/2d1/41/08.

\kur{Beauveria bassiana} is a entomopathogenic polyphagous fungus commonly found in soil and it is parasite of soil insects, mainly of the stages of insect that occur in soil. At the present time it is used in plant protection against more than 70 species of insects. In the Czech Republic \kur{Beauveria bassiana} has the greatest importance in the fight against bark beetle \kur{Ips typographus} in the NP Šumava in these days. This study was focused on the evaluation of genetic variability \kur{Beauveria bassiana} strains on the basis of microsatellite analysis and the comparison of four separation methods: electrophoresis in 2% agarose gel, electrophoresis in 3% synergel, chip electrophoresis and fluorescent capillary electrophoresis in term of the most precise separation of PCR products. We used 41 strains which were collected in the NP Šumava and 20 strains from long-term collection determined as an exotic in this study. This large geographical scale group contains the strains from whole world and in addition it was upgraded by the strains collected from the NP Krkonoše and South Moravia. For the microsatellite analysis there were used 11 pairs of primers but for inter-comparison of separative methods were chosen only 4 pairs of primers. The population of \kur{Beauveria bassiana} strains collected from the NP Šumava were evaluated by analysis of microsatellites as a conservative and fully closed regardless of the source and the location. The strains from the large geographical scale group showed the great genetic variability. In terms of separation, the best and most suitable separation method was proved, the fluorescent capillary electrophoresis. Despite of its difficult financial aspect, this method was evaluated as the most precise and the most sensitive. Its advantage is in possibility to detect the smallest differences in the length of single allele in the range 1-2 bp, which is for the gel electrophoresis impossible.

My diploma thesis deals with genetic variability of entomopathogenic fungi of the Isaria genus encountered in the Czech Republic. Individual representative of the genus can be found in soil where they attack all developmental stages of insects, giving preference to larvae and pupae. The Isaria fungi find application first and foremost where plants have to be provided biological protection. In case of mitosporic fungi is the precise identification very difficult, taxonomy is often unclear in many genera, including the genus Paecilomyces/Isaria to demonstrate their polyphyletic nature. The fungi are classified primarily with reliance on morphological studies. The most common markers used to identify fungi are the shapes and sizes of their conidia and the biological properties (germination of spores, tests of biological efficiency). Identification made in consideration of the morphological markers is inaccurate and very variable. To overcome those accuracies, there are very useful molecular DNA markers, which can be relevant in ecology, biology and in fungi genetics. This paper relies on applying the ITS region (Internal Transcribed Spacer) as a molecular marker. ITS regions are partial constituent rDNA carrying no code - that is why the regions are likely to accumulate evolutionary changes in the DNA sequence, which makes them suitable for extensive use in taxonomic analyses of many organisms. The study results in a phylogenetic trees constructed by comparing different sequences of ITS regions obtained from the samples of entomopathogenic fungi of the Isaria genus gathered in the Czech Republic during the monitoring stage 2013 to 2014. Thereunder detection of Isaria sp. occurring in the Czech Republic.

This diploma theses focuses on comparison of natural and intentionally inducated supressiveness of environment induced by application of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Isaria fumosorosea a Lecanicillium muscarium. In tests were evaluated the in vitro parameters as well as the effectiveness in vivo biotests on insect host larva Tenebrio molitor. The species of entomopatoghenic fungi were applied in suspensions, single strains and also in combination of two strains. In the in vitro conditions the possibilities of objective evaluation of the supresivity level were tested by using the CFU test (Colony Forming Units) on three different nutrient media (PDA, PDA + A , PDA + D), as one of the basic evaluation parameters. Further the germination tests were evaluated according to GI (Germination Index), determination of radial growth (comparison of median cultures) and interaction of strain suspensions on nutrient media PDA. In the in vivo biotests were watched the epizooties from suspensions of these entomopathogenic fungi on insect larva Tenebrio molitor in competitive test of strains according to FDI (Fungl development index) evaluation scala. Chosen larva covered by fully sporulating mycelium from epizootie were further evaluated in CFU test. The result were dominant strain/s on the larva from applied suspensions.

In laboratory bioassays, the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana against the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) was tested under various temperature conditions. Six different strains of fungus B. bassiana was investigated. The evaluation was based on vitality bioassays including germination and growth index assessment and the bioassay of virulence based on target organism T. molitor was also assessed growth and yield of conidia different strains of fungus B. bassiana on natural substrates and artificial nutrient substrates.
