Abstract
An endogenous filariform fungus has been separated from a tree named Taxus
growing in the Aba region, Sichuan, China. The fungus is fermented in fluid
medium for 3 weeks at 25 degreesC, then the HPLC and MALDI-TOF analysis of
the zymotic fluid show that the zymotic fluid contains taxol. So it is a f
ungus which can produce taxol. It is named Taxomyces sp, temporarily.
