Effect of temperature on respiration of a mesophilic and a thermophilic fungus

A R Prasad et al. Plant Physiol. 1979 Aug.

Abstract

The respiratory rates of mycelia of the mesophilic fungus, Aspergillus niger, and the thermophilic fungus, Thermomyces lanuginosus, were comparable at their respective temperature optima for growth. The respiratory rate of A. niger was independent of changes in temperature between 15 and 40 C. The respiratory rate of T. lanuginosus increased with increase in temperature between 25 and 55 C.
