Table 1 Thermophilic moulds are a potential reservoir of thermozymes which find potential applications in various biotechnological processes (Singh , 2016; Singh, 2016; Maheshwari 2000; Johri 1999). Enzymes from thermophilic fungi often tolerate higher temperatures than enzymes from their mesophilic counterparts and some show stability even at 70-80°C (Singh 2016; Singh, 2016; Johri 1999). It has been reported that the cellulolytic activity of some thermophilic species was several times higher than that of the most active cellulolytic mesophile, (Singh 2016; Singh, 2016; Maheshwari 2000; Johri 1999). Furthermore, biomass-degrading enzymes from thermophilic moulds display higher hydrolysis rate than those from more conventionally used mesophiles like or (Singh 2016; Singh, 2016).
