ISOLATION AND INCIDENCE OF THERMOPHILIC FUNGI FROM VARIOUS THERMOGENIC HABITATS IN ANDHRA PRADESH
A total of 400 samples were collected from different thermogenic habitats such as nests of birds, decomposing litter, soils from furnace area, cattle dung, zoo dump, industrial waste, vegetable market compost, mushroom compost, horse dung, municipal waste, chicken manure and coal mine soils of Godavari Khani (Karimnagar) and Bhoopalpally (Warangal) group of mines in Andhra Pradesh. From which 40 isolates including 10species of 10genera were isolated. Among the thermophilic fungi lessThan i greaterThan Rhizomucor pusillus lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan Humicola insolens lessThan /i greaterThan present nearly in all substrates. A novel strain lessThan i greaterThan Sordariales sp.A.P-2012 strain lessThan /i greaterThan was isolated from nest material and an uncultured compost fungus was isolated from the cattle dung. lessThan i greaterThan Scytalidium thermophilum strain B1 lessThan /i greaterThan was successfully isolated from mushroom compost and lessThan i greaterThan Sporotrichum thermophile lessThan /i greaterThan from decomposed litter are adapted to grow at a temperature maximum of 65°C and 60°C respectively.
