Abstract
Huperzine A is an important drug for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatment, which is mainly extracted from the medicinal plant Huperzia serrata (Thunb.) Trev (Huperzia serrata Trev.). In present study, a new endophytic fungus (NWUHS002) producing Huperzine A was isolated from the Huperzia serrata Trev. with a yield of 5.20 µg/g. NWUHS002 was identified as Staphylotrichum by morphology and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence. The discovery of NWUHS002 in Huperzia serrata Trev. can be used for the breeding of high-producing Huperzine A strains and the study of Huperzine A biosynthesis.
