Abstract: The soil fungus YM31966 was screened for transformed directly on chemical components of Panax notoginseng from Chinese traditional medicine. After identified the strain is Aspergillus terreus. It transformed Panax notoginseng products to make up main ingredients of notoginsenosides nR2, RX1 and ginsenosides Rg1, Rd, Rh1, Rh4 by solid state fermenting ways, union chemistry extraction separation method, but original compounds decomposed from Panax notoginseng such as ginsenosides Rb1, Rc, Re and notoginsenosides R1, R3, R6 and so on through high performance liquid chromatography, chromatography-mass and 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectrometry examinations. The result indicated that Aspergillus terreus YM31966 is a microorganisms to transform Panax notoginseng of traditional Chinese medicine, some of chemical components of Panax notoginseng from Chinese traditional medicine were remarkably changed not only to produce new compound but also to increase quantities of compound from Panax notoginseng by conversing process of Aspergillus tamarii YM31966.

Key words: Aspergillus terreus, Panax notoginseng, Transformation, Ginsenoside, Notoginsenoside
