Abstract
Twenty species of thermophilous fungi were identified from sugarcane bagasse at Batala in Northern India. Seven fungal species are reported from bagasse for the first time and Aspergillus caespitosns is a new record for India. Aspergillus fumigatus was the most common fungus followed by Mncor pusillus. The temperature responses of the fungi revealed 5 microthermophiles, 11 thermotolerant, and 4 true thermophiles. Three species of thermophilous fungi are reported in addition to those already recorded in the literature.
