The heat resistant fungus that causes spoilage in acidic foods.
A
Bacillus coagulans
B
Lactobacillus
C
Flat sour spoilage
D
Byssochlamys
E
Thermophilic anaerobic spoilage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual Reproduction as the Cause of Heat Resistance in the Food Spoilage Fungus Byssochlamys spectabilis (Anamorph Paecilomyces variotii)

Detailed explanation-2: -Heat resistance of fungi is determined by their sexual spores-ascospores. Their ability to survive common conservation (70 °C 30 min) is of concern for public health and economy as well. Byssochlamys spp., Neosartorya fischeri, and Talaromyces flavus are predominant heat resistant molds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Byssochlamys spectabilis (Trichocomaceae family), commonly found in soil, air, and plants, is a thermophilic fungus that exhibits lipolytic activity against lauric acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid, and can degrade benzo[a]anthracene [15e18].
