The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

The antagonistic/antifungal activities (AA/AFA) of the higher Basidiomycetes medicinal mushroom Pleurotus tuberregium were studied in a dual-culture experiment using potato-dextrose agar at two different temperatures (26°C and 30°C) against phytopathogens (Fusarium culmorum, Bipolaris sorokiniana) and their antagonists (Trichoderma harzianum, T. asperellum). Keratino-philic species Chrysosporium keratinophilum and Microsporium gypseum, which are potential pathogens for humans and animals, were also tested. Interspecies interactions previously described in the literature were used for estimating the AA/AFA of contacted fungal organisms in Petri dishes. Results indicated that high temperature typically stimulates the growth rate and antagonistic activity of Pleurotus tuberregium, particularly against Fusarium culmorium and Trichoderma harzianum. Mycelium of Pleurotus tuberregium was able to completely overgrow the keratophilic fungus Chrysosporium keratinophilum, but it had less antagonistic effect against Microsporium gypseum. Pleurotus tuberregium markedly inhibited the growth of tested phytopathogenic fungi and their antagonists. Among them, Fusarium culmorum, Trichoderma harzianum, and T. asperellum expressed more antagonistic activity toward Pleurotus tuberregium. Activity of Pleurotus tuberregium against Trichoderma harzianum and Fusarium culmorum at 30°C was significantly higher than at 26°C. Trichoderma harzianum may not be able to cause economic loss in the commercial cultivation of Pleurotus tuberregium.
