Abstract
Present investigation describes that the study site comes under Aurangabad Division Maharashtra and it falls in Deccan Plateau Zone of India. It was collected different types of organic substrates viz. vermiompost, poultary manure, baggase, farm yard manure (FYM), soil, Ash etc. Isolated thermophilic predominant fungi thermophilic fungi viz.Aspergillus niger, Mucor mucedo,Humicola 
 insolens,Trichoderma harzianum,T. viride,Penicillium duponti,Fusarium oxysporun and Chaetomium thermophilum were carried out for the production of enzymes. Isolated predominant thermophilic fungi were evaluated on different types of enzymes. Among tested thermophilic fungi, the highest ativity was observed in C. thermophilium (20mm) followed by T. harzianum (19.50mm) In lipase, M. mucedo (15.40mm) was found maximum followed by F. oxysporun. Cellulase activity was found highest in A. nige (25mm) followed by others. In case of xylanase, catalase, peroxidase and esterase activities were found maximum, minimum and medium even negative in some fungi. Maximum pectinase activity was detected from H. insolens (52.26 @ 0 min) and (74.25 @ 10 min) and in case of M. mucedo, F. oxysporun and C. thermophilium was found most extreme while least in A. niger (30.12) and P. duponti (33.47) @ 0 minute.
 
 Key words: Organic Substrates, Thermophilic Fungi, Enzymes
Highlights
Microorganisms play a very important role from the groups according to their temperature ranges i.e.psychrophiles, mesophiles and thermophiles
Isolation of fungi were separated from substrate and among six substrates and isolated predominant thermophilic fungi viz.Aspergillus niger,Mucor mucedo,Humicola insolens,Trichoderma harzianum,Trichoderma viride,Penicillium duponti,Fusarium oxysporun and Chaetomium thermophilum
Enzyme Production Isolated predominant thermophilic fungi were evaluated on different types of enzymes
Summary
Microorganisms play a very important role from the groups according to their temperature ranges i.e.psychrophiles, mesophiles and thermophiles. Of the 70,000 formally recorded fungi species only around 30 species have the ability to grow at these elevated temperatures. Temperature is one of the extremely important environmental variables that play a decisive role in the survival, growth, distribution and diversity of microorganisms on the surface of the earth. The response of fungi to temperature varies between the two extremes of obligatorily thermophilic through thermotolerance to psychrophilic species. By far the majority of known fungi are mesophiles developing in culture between 5 and 37°C; the psychrophiles extend below that range of temperatures (Dix and Webster, 1995). Through microbial decomposition of the organic waste matter which can be stabilized, matured and deodorized in to a product rich in humic substances that can be used as organic soil conditioner which is easy to store and distribute (Sahu et al, 2015)
