Background: Fungi are well known biotechnological tools that have various applications in the fields of industry.Thanks to their ability to produce set of prestigious enzymes that is eco-friendly and can replace harmful chemicals used in those industries.Thermoascus is an ascomycetous fungus that belongs to family Trichocomaceae, which is famous for its promising mycotechnological applications due to its capability to produce potent heat stable enzymes such as cellulases, xylanases, and β-glucosidases.Object: The aim of this review is to highlight the description.ecology, and important industrial applications of the genus Thermoascus in general, and the species Thermoascus aurantiacus in particular focusing on its heat-resistant hydrolase enzymes that have different potential biotechnological applications.Conclusion: Thermoascus originated metabolites are of potential biological activities especially as antioxidant agents.Furthermore, enzymes produced by Thermoascus are involved as promising tool in many important mycotechnological applications such as food, textile, paper, pulp, animal feed, conversion of biomass into biofuels, as well as other chemical industries.Understanding the importance of these fungus thermostable enzymes may contribute in encouraging for further studies in order to employ them in new biotechnological fields.Enhancing the production of industrial thermostable enzymes from Thermoascus aurantiacus via the application of different statistical approaches and newly developed molecular biology methods is of critical importance.Furthermore, more effort should be directed towards introducing Thermoascus aurantiacus into new hosts for further studying the deconstruction of plant cell wall.
