Bats can be affected by fungal pathogens such as , the causative agent of the white-nose syndrome. Their body surface can also be colonized by fungal commensals or carry transient fungal species and participate in their dispersal. In this study, 114 bat specimens belonging to seven species were sampled from various locations in northern Belgium. Culture-based methods revealed an important mycological diversity, with a total of 209 different taxa out of the 418 isolates. Overall, a mean of 3.7 taxa per bat was recorded, but significant differences were observed between sampling sites and seasons. The mycobiomes were dominated by cosmopolitan and plant-associated species, in particular from the genera , and . Other species known to be related to bats or their environment, such as , were also retrieved. Sampling of hibernacula indicated that diverse fungal species can inhabit these sites, including a yet undescribed species, distinct from , namely, .
蝙蝠可能会受到真菌病原体的影响，例如白鼻综合征的病原体。它们的体表也可能被真菌共生体定植，或者携带短暂的真菌物种并参与其传播。在这项研究中，从比利时北部的不同地点采集了 114 只属于七个物种的蝙蝠标本。基于培养的方法揭示了重要的真菌多样性，在 418 株分离物中共有 209 种不同的分类群。总体而言，每只蝙蝠记录到平均 3.7 种，但在采样地点和季节之间观察到显著差异。微生物组主要由世界性和与植物相关的物种组成，特别是来自属和属的物种。还检索到了其他已知与蝙蝠或其环境有关的物种，例如。对冬眠地的采样表明，多种真菌物种可以栖息在这些地方，包括一种尚未被描述的物种，与不同，即。
