| Abstract |
Mitrephora wangii, an ethnomedicinal plant, has been used as a natural antibiotic and immunity booster in Thailand. A total of 22 fungi were isolated from M. wangii flowers. The fungal isolates were categorized into six genera including Agrocybe, Aspergillus, Colletotrichum, Nigrospora, Puccinia and Ustilago. Most extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against at least one of the test bacteria. Aspergillus sp. MFLUCC16-0845 was identified as the most bioactive fungus. Chemical composition of Aspergillus sp. MFLUCC16-0845 investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry indicated that the major antibacterial compound was β-thujaplicin. Moreover, the newly isolated Aspergillus sp. MFLUCC16-0845 could be exploited as a potential source of bioactive compounds and plant defense activators. In addition, it is the first time that strain of Aspergillus sp. isolated and cultured from M. wangii flowers could produce β-thujaplicin at high yield with strong antimicrobial spectrum, which may lead to wide utilization in producing cosmetics and clinical products. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 April 2018.
All research outputs
#18,598,273
of 23,036,991 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Microbiology
#2,157
of 2,799 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#255,560
of 328,968 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Microbiology
#17
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,036,991 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,799 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,968 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
