Ship timber beetles (Coleoptera: Lymexylidae) grow symbiotic fungi of the genusAlloascoideain wood. The female adults possess fungus-carrying organs (mycetangia) and deposit the symbiont onto wood during oviposition. The larvae acquire the symbiont, excavate a tunnel into wood, and feed on the symbiont growing on the tunnel walls. As lymexylids use wood as a larval habitat, it is possible that the fungal symbionts can utilize indigestible wood-associated sugars. However, their abilities to assimilate wood-associated carbon sources remain unknown. In addition, no lymexylid-associated fungal communities have been reported except forElateroides dermestoides. Here, I report that the ship timber beetleE. flabellicornisoriginating from Japan harbored five fungal species. When microbial isolation was conducted from mycetangia of a female adult ofE. flabellicornis, colonies of filamentous fungi and yeasts were recovered. DNA analyses revealed that they wereAlloascoideasp.,Ambrosiozyma llanquihuensis,Ambrosiozymasp.,Cyberlindnerasp., andSaccharomycopsissp. When wood-associated carbon assimilation abilities of four of the five fungal species:Alloascoideasp.,Am. llanquihuensis,Cyberlindnerasp., andSaccharomycopsissp., were tested, the abilities were variable among them. OnlySaccharomycopsissp. assimilated galactose and galacturonic acid.Alloascoideasp. andCyberlindnerasp. strongly assimilated xylan from corn.Saccharomycopsissp. andCyberlindnerasp. assimilated cellobiose. All of the fungi assimilated glucose, mannose, and xylose. These results suggest that the association with multiple fungal species with various carbon assimilation abilities may help the larvae ofE. flabellicornisto achieve efficient nutrient intake in space-limited tunnels within nutrient-poor wood.
