Abstract: Nine endophytic bacteria were isolated from fresh Morinda citrifolia, which were cultured in the liquid medium respectively. The supernatant obtained after centrifuging the culture broth was the extracellular metabolite, and the intracellular metabolite (intracellular content) was obtained by ultrasonic cell disruption of the centrifuged bacteria. The scavenging effects on DPPH free radicals, hydroxyl free radicals, superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide and the total reducing power of the extracellular metabolites and intracellular contents were tested. The results showed that the antioxidant activities of the extracellular metabolites and intracellular contents of the nine endophytic bacteria strains from Morinda citrifolia were different. Among them, the scavenging rate of the extracellular metabolites of 3# endophyte on DPPH free radicals reached 95.49%, and that of the intracellular content of 4# endophyte on DPPH free radicals reached 92.47%, both exceeding that of 90 μmol/L ascorbic acid of the same volume. The scavenging effect of the extracellular metabolites of 2# endophyte on hydroxyl free radicals was far beyond that of ascorbic acid, reaching 98.13%. The scavenging rate of hydroxyl free radicals of the intracellular content of 3# endophyte was 78.00%, which was twice that of ascorbic acid. The scavenging rate of the extracellular metabolite of 3# endophyte on superoxide anions reached 100%. The total reducing power of the intracellular content of 4# endophyte was the highest.
