The interacting boson model with {ital s} and {ital d} bosons has been used to describe the nuclear structure effects in sub-barrier fusion. We generalize the previous formalism to include arbitrary kinds of bosons in the target nucleus and investigate whether {ital g} bosons have any discernible effect on fusion reactions. In particular, we compare the fusion cross sections, barrier distributions, and the average angular momentum of the compound nucleus in the {ital sd} and {ital sdg} boson models.
