Thermophilic fungi

This study was aimed to screen and isolate thermophilic fungi from three selected compost wastes sites (Palm oil mill, Wood chip piles and Abattoir dump), and identify potential producers of lipases, cellulases and proteases respectively. The thermophilic fungi were obtained from an equal depth of one meter in all the three collection sites with a temperature range of 40 to 45OC and later cultured at 70 OC. F

Peptidases (EC 3.4) consist of a large group of hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins accounting for approximately 65% of the total worldwide enzyme production. Peptidases from thermophilic fungi have adaptations to high temperature that makes them adequate for biotechnological application. In the present study, we profiled the genomes of heat-tolerant fungi and phylogenetically related mesophilic species for genes encoding for peptidases and their putative adaptations for thermostability.

Digested biogas slurry is a rich lignocellulosic substrate, consistent with the idea of sustainable agriculture and development. This work is aimed at utilization of digested biogas slurry as a substrate for the quantitative screening of lignocellulose degrading fungi. In this study, the potential of digested biogas slurry as a substrate to determine the lignocellulolytic enzyme production after 8 days of incubation at 30±2ºC (mesophilic) and 50±2ºC (thermophilic) was investigated.

Fungal amylase, mainly constitute of fungal α-amylase and glucoamylase, are utilized in a broad range of industries, such as starch hydrolysis, food and brewing. Although various amylases have been found in fungi, the amylases from Aspergillus dominate the commercial application.
