Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The study aims to isolate fungi from lichens of the Magadan region (Russia) and evaluate their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Fourteen species of lichen from the Magadan region (Russia) were selected for the study. Antibacterial activity was determined based on gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). Antifungal activity was identified by using strains of Aspergillus terreus and Candida albicans. According to the results of the study, fungi isolated from lichens Peltigera leucophlebia (CD), Hypogymnia sachalinensis(CD) showed antifungal activity, and fungi from Peltigera leucophlebia(CD),Peltigera aphthosa(CD), Melanohalea olivacea(PDA, CD), displayed antibacterial activity. As a result of studying the biological activity, the fungi isolated from the lichen Peltigera leucophlebia(CD) have both antibacterial and antifungal activity.
