Thermophilic and thermotolerant fungi in poultry droppings in Nigeria.
نویسنده
چکیده
Ten species of fungi were obtained from poultry droppings in Nigeria. Six of these are true thermophiles while the other four are thermotolerant. Aspergillus fumigatus Fresenius, Mucor pusillus Lindt and Thermoascus aurantiacus Stolk are known human pathogens. Except for M. pusillus, all the thermotolerant species had a higher occurrence at 45 degrees C while the thermophilic varieties were readily obtained at 50 degrees C.

Twenty-three isolates of fungi, representing 13 thermophilic and thermotolerant species, were bioassayed for toxigenicity to brine shrimp, chicken embryos, and rats. Thirteen isolates representing nine genera were highly toxic to at least two of the three systems. Seven additional isolates of five genera were slightly toxic.

Plant cell wall is mainly composed by cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The heterogeneous structure and composition of the hemicellulose are key impediments to its depolymerization and subsequent use in fermentation processes. Thus, this study aimed to perform a screening of thermophilic and thermotolerant filamentous fungi collected from different regions of the São Paulo state, and analyze...
