Thermoascus isatschenkoi is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales. [1]
Paecilomyces is a genus of fungi. A number of species in this genus are plant pathogens.
Byssochlamys is a former genus of fungi in the Trichocomaceae family, containing teleomorph forms of Paecilomyces. Several species of the genus Byssochlamys were well known to be associated with food spoilage, especially acidic heat-processed foods. A health concern was the production the mycotoxin patulin in fruit juices, as well as byssochlamic acid and mycophenolic acid.
Thermomyces lanuginosus is a species of thermophilic fungus that belongs to Thermomyces, a genus of hemicellulose degraders. It is classified as a deuteromycete and no sexual form has ever been observed. It is the dominant fungus of compost heaps, due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and use complex carbon sources for energy. As the temperature of compost heaps rises and the availability of simple carbon sources decreases, it is able to out compete pioneer microflora. It plays an important role in breaking down the hemicelluloses found in plant biomass due to the many hydrolytic enzymes that it produces, such as lipolase, amylase, xylanase, phytase, and chitinase. These enzymes have chemical, environmental, and industrial applications due to their hydrolytic properties. They are used in the food, petroleum, pulp and paper, and animal feed industries, among others. A few rare cases of endocarditis due to T. lanuginosus have been reported in humans.
Thermoascus is a genus of soil fungi in the family Trichocomaceae. Species in the genus are characterized by the production of heat-resistant ascospores. Thermoascus was circumscribed by German botanist Hugo Miehe in 1907.
Thermoascus verrucosus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus aegyptiacus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus crustaceus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus taitungiacus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
Thermoascus thermophilus is a species of fungus in the genus Thermoascus in the order of Eurotiales.
