The recently discovered resonant states in the dt..mu.. molecule are investigated, with emphasis on the properties related to the muon catalyzed fusion. For the lowest resonance of s-symmetry above the (d..mu..+t) threshold we have calculated the energy, life time, geometry, fusion rate, sticking fraction and collisional formation rate. The results are compared with the corresponding properties for the bound states. Also, estimations of muon cycling rates and the fusion yield have been obtained for the situation corresponding to resonantly enhanced fusion in flight.
