Ecology and Distribution

  • Chapter
Thermophilic Moulds in Biotechnology

Abstract

Temperature is one of the most important ecological factors governing the activities of microorganisms. Temperature in the range, 50°–60°C is lethal to most species of fungi except some that essentially require it for their growth and multiplication. They are distributed among taxonomically distinct lineages but ecologically constitute a well defined group known as thermophilic fungi.
