The
thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus: the occurrence
and the properties
Abstracl:
The
thermophilic fungi are wide propagated and they were isolated in
the all of climatic areas. The most widespread arc the
species Thermomyces lanuginosus. The species of the
thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus were isolated
from the composts, the hay, the mushroom compost, the baggase,
the sawdust, the peat, the air, the maize, the gram, the peanuts,
the kemeł palms, the popular local food in Egypt and the
different soils. These fungus have the minimum temperature
for the growth and the development 25—37oC, optimum
40—55oC and maximum 55—63oC.
The studies proved the ability of the species of this fungus to
the biosynthesis many of the hydrolytic enzymes. Thanks to this
properties T. lanuginosus can putrefy the matter
containig carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Species of the T. lanuginosus
have also the ability to the growth in the presence some
of the hydrocarbons. In this connexion, it is not unlikely, that
enzymes produce by T. lanuginosus can be used in the
industry for example in the alimentary or paper industry. In spite
of small publications about the toxygenic propetries of this
fungus, we can not belittle this fact.
