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

Pleurotus eryngii (DC.: Fr.) Quel. is a cultivated mushroom that is highly appreciated in Southern Italy and also has commercial potential in other European countries. The high production cost, due mainly to the long incubation time, limits the diffusion of this fungus. A reduction of the incubation phase would strongly reduce the production costs, making this organism competitive on the market. It is well known that a high concentration of CO2 may inhibit mycelium development of this species if air flow is not provided in the biofermentor. We decided to study the effect of aeration of the growth room and, consequently, the effect of gas exchange between substrate and environment, on the length of the incubation time and of carpophore production. A Sardinian isolate of P. eryngiiwus cultivated on a substrate based on wheat straw and sugar beet. contained in two types of plastic bag, a traditional one and a new, "transpirant" bag, in which gas exchange occurs more easily. In the "transpirant" bags fungal mycelium was able to completely colonize the substrate within 45 days of incubation, while in the traditional bags the time needed increased up to 90 days. Moreover, highly significant differences in mushroom productivity were obtained in the "transpirant" bags. These results seems to demonstrate the important role of CO2 and of О2 on mycelium development and on the productivity of this species. In order to reduce the incubation period of P. eryngii and to achieve complete substrate colonization, frequent gas exchange between compost and the environment is therefore recommended to ensure a continuous and adequate oxygen rate.
