Beauveria brongniartii is an insect pathogenic fungus that kills a lot of arthropod including the sting bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). The abundance and prevalence of Beauveria spp upon soil on different agroecosystems is topic of study of many researchers, but it is necessary to know what species of Beauveria are inciding in these agroecosystems. Commonly is used molecular technics such as PCR to identify the fungi species. For this reazon specific primers are used in this kind of test to amplify genes and compare the DNA sequences.
I guess you are interested in ITS and barcoding
For primers see the Thesis of Nicholas John Cummings: Entomopathogenic fungi in New Zealand native forests: the genera Beauveria and Isaria.
and the Thesis of Ivo Vaz Oliveira
Entomopathogenic fungi associated to Prays oleae: isolation, characterization and selection for biological control

Hi Nikolaus,
Thank you so much for your response, I´ll see these thesis as you recomended me.
