Abstract: We isolated a strain of endophytic bacteria capable of producingα-glucosidase inhibitor from mulberry and named it S-J-X-4. On the basis of physiological and biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA gene sequence, the strain was preliminarily identified to as Bacillus atrophaeus. S-J-X-4 was cultured in LB medium andα-glucosidase inhibitor was found in the fermentation broth as an extracellular product.

Key words: α-glucosidase inhibitor, mulberry, endophytic bacteria, identification
