Abstract

Thermophilic fungi have received substantial attention in industry for their potential to produce thermostable enzymes and as production platforms tolerant of high temperature. Studies exploring the ecology and biosystematics of thermophilic fungi have lagged behind studies in applied biology. The species most recently known as Scytalidium thermophilum (Chaetomiaceae) is one of the most frequently encountered organisms in surveys of thermophilic fungi. There is evidence that it is ecologically and economically important, for example in the context of commercial mushroom growing. As described here, this species should not be placed in the genus Scytalidium or any other existing genus. We propose a new genus and combination, Mycothermus thermophilus.
