Fungal metabolic profile dataset was not influenced by long-term preservation of strains.

Comparative ecophysiology is highly valuable approach to reveal adaptive traits linked with specific ecological niches. Although long-term preserved fungal isolates are often used for analyses, only sparse data is available about the effect of such handling on fungal physiology. The purpose of our data is to show the effect of long-term preservation of fungal strains on their metabolic profiles. This data is related to research paper "Adaptive traits of bark and ambrosia beetle-associated fungi" (Veselská et al., 2019). Biolog MicroPlates™ for Filamentous fungi were used to compare metabolic profiles between freshly isolated and long-term preserved strains of two species. Additionally, carbon utilization profiles of 35 species were assessed, including plant pathogen and three ambrosia species. Data also shows differences in carbon utilization profiles among diverse ecology types presented in the genus .
