White Nose Syndrome (WNS) greatly increases the over-winter mortality of little brown ( Myotis lucifugus ), Indiana ( M .  sodalis ), northern ( M .  septentrionalis ), and tricolored ( Perimyotis subflavus ) bats, and is caused by cutaneous infections with  Pseudogymnoascus destructans  ( Pd ). Big brown bats ( Eptesicus fuscus ) are highly resistant to  Pd  infections. Seven different fatty acids (myristic, pentadecanoic, palmitic, palmitoleic, oleic, and, linoleic acids) occur in the wing epidermis of both  M .  lucifugus  and  E .  fuscus , 4 of which (myristic, palmitoleic, oleic, and, linoleic acids) inhibit  Pd  growth. The amounts of myristic and linoleic acids in the epidermis of  M .  lucifugus  decrease during hibernation, thus we predicted that the epidermal fatty acid profile of  M .  lucifugus  during hibernation has a reduced ability to inhibit  Pd  growth. Laboratory  Pd  growth experiments were conducted to test this hypothesis. The results demonstrated that the fatty acid profile of  M .  lucifugus  wing epidermis during hibernation has a reduced ability to inhibit the growth of  Pd . Additional  Pd  growth experiments revealed that: a) triacylglycerols composed of known anti- Pd  fatty acids do not significantly affect growth, b) pentadecanoic acid inhibits  Pd  growth, and c) 1-oleoglycerol, which is found in the wing epidermis of  E .  fuscus , also inhibits the growth of this fungus. Analyses of white adipose from  M .  lucifugus  also revealed the selective retention of oleic and linoleic acids in this tissue during hibernation.
