Myceliophthora thermophila is an ascomycete fungus that grows optimally at 45–50 °C (113–122 °F). It efficiently degrades cellulose and is of interest in the production of biofuels. The genome has recently been sequenced,[2] revealing the full range of enzymes used by this organism for the degradation of plant cell wall material.
