Abstract		During the investigation of fungal biodiversity in Slovenian caves and particularly of the mycoflora associated with cave inhabiting fauna, several hyphomycetes and zygomycetes were found on living larvae and adults of cave crickets, Troglophilus neglectus, and their cadavers. Among the isolated Mucoraceae, several psecies of Mucor were isolated consistently from both different parts of dead animals and guts of the living ones. One of the species was described as new and named Mucor troglophilus. Whether these fungi are associated with the insects, either used as food source, pathogenic or simbiontic microorganism, had to be investigated. Enzymatic activities of different Mucor species: M. hiemalis, M. genevensis, M. flavus, M. circinelloides, M. bacilliformis and the newly described species M. troglophilus, in comparison with the known entomopathogenic species Beauveria bassina, Metarrhizium anisopliae and Paecilomyces farinosus, were determined using API ZYM and screening enzymatic tests on agar plates.
