Xylanases from fungi: properties and industrial applications (2005, background): “In recent years, a lot of effort has been put into the isolation of thermophilic and even extremophilic microorganisms, since they produce enzymes of greater stability (Lasa and Berenguer 1993; Harris et al. 1997; Ishihara et al. 1997; Kalogeris et al. 1998; Andrade et al. 1999; Niehaus et al. 1999;”
Pectinase and polygalacturonase production by a thermophilic Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from decomposting orange peels (2005, background): “These enzymes have numerous applications in the detergent, starch, food, paper and pharmaceutical industries (17).”
Use of Filamentous Fungi for Wastewater Treatment and Production of High Value Fungal Byproducts: A Review (2010, background): “The hypothesis behind using thermophilic fungi is that a higher growth rate achieves a better degradation rate (Maheshwari et al., 2000).”

MTCC 3922 (2007, background): “…Humicola insolens, Sporotrichum thermophile) and hydrocarbon utilizing novel fungus Cladosporium resinae are also good sources of β-glucosidase (Pandey and Mishra, 1997; Iwashita et al. 1998; Van Rensburg et al. 1998; Oh et al. 1999; Maheshwari et al. 2000; Parry et al. 2001; Yun et al. 2001).”

Studies on a thermostable α-amylase from the thermophilic fungus Scytalidium thermophilum (2003, background): “The potential advantage of using thermostable a-amylases in the starch biotechnology industry seems quite evident, nevertheless, although all species of thermophilic fungi produce and secrete this enzyme (Maheshwari et al. 2000), only the enzyme from Thermomyces lanuginosus (Mishra and Maheshwari 19”
Fueling the future with fungal genomics (2011, background): “Thermophilic fungi are defined as those which grow optimally between 40 and 50 ◦C (Maheshwari et al. 2000).”
Fungal Bioconversion of Lignocellulosic Residues; Opportunities & Perspectives (2009, background): “thermophile [28], Chaetomium thermophilum [108] and Corynascus thermophilus [109] can produce thermostable enzymes which are stable and active at elevated temperatures (˃60°C) well above their optimum growth temperature (30 to ~55) [110].”
