Abstract
Fusarium 9568D, which belongs to Fusarium moniliforme, was isolated from the roots of Dracaena cochinchinensis in the suburb of Monglian, Yunnan Province of China. High activities of beta-glucosidase and cellulase were detected in the broth of Fusarium 9568D. The strain was inoculated in abiotic branch and wood of Dracaena cochinchinensis. After 4-5 months of culture, red resin emerged in the inoculated points. UV-IR spectrum analysis and antibiotic assay demonstrated that this resin almost resembled the natural blood resin.
