In this study, two researchers from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences and Ehime University in Japan isolated, identified, and characterized an endophytic fungus from the stem of Quercus gilva Blume (Ichiigashi oak) and investigated its bioactivity. Their results, which highlighted the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory effect of the extracts obtained from the fungus, were published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that Xylariaceae sp. QGS 01 from Ichiigashi oak is a rich source of antidiabetic compounds.
