Thermophiles can grow at a temperature ranges between 45 and 80 °C. The survival of thermophilic fungi at such conditions induced by genomic evolution and natural selection that in turn gives thermophiles the thermotolerant abilities. Like other thermophilic organisms, thermophilic fungi get inclusive attention due to their potential to produce thermostable enzymes. Research studies mostly demonstrated physiological aspects of thermophilic fungi based on their nutrition requirement, metabolism, growth, and their interaction with the environmental factors. Furthermore, investigating molecular features such as genome size, protein, and nucleotides screening is likewise significant. Moreover, the physiological and molecular study gives us a concise idea about thermophilic fungi adaptation strategies and parameter to sustain in an extreme environmental condition. Therefore, in this chapter, we endeavor to convey thermophilic fungi physiological and molecular highlights about adaptation to elevated temperature.Read More
