Abstract

Four different strains of Claviceps purpurea IC/39/20—B, G, R, and W have been selected and isolated using common selection method. The relationship between intensity of pigmentation of the culture and the accumulation of ergot alkaloids has been noticed. Maximal alkaloid yields have been obtained with more pigmented strains R and W in the sucrose- asparagine medium (1.30 and 1.50 g/L respectively) and with less pigmented strains B and G in the sucrose-peptone medium (0.30 and 0.80 g/L).
