Abstract

Parameters of ergot alkaloids production in submerged culture of Claviceps paspali were investigated. Two distinct phases, trophophase and idiophase, were observed during the cultivation of microorganism. Biosynthesis of alkaloids follows a characteristic pattern of idiophasic accumulation of the product.
The maximal yields of alkaloids were obtained in the culture of C. paspali in the medium with mannitol and ammonia succinate (from 11% to 14% of dry matter in the medium) and amounted to about 2,2 g x 1-1.
