- Abstract
The article presents a study that investigates the new bioactive substance produced by endophytic fungus alternaria alternata from Maytenus hookeri. The research was conducted by measuring mass spectra of the leaves of Maytenus hookeri collected in China using VG Auto spec-3000 spectrometer and Thermo Finnigan LCQ Advantage wherein the fungus was cultured using a liquid medium and was filtered, isolated and fermented. The infrared spectrum was able to assert the presence of unsaturated aldehyde and ketone and the strains of alternaria were capable of producing a variety of secondary metabolites that are phytotoxic.
