RESUMO
Three strains of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul., isolated from sclerotia grown on rye, produce under submerged conditions ergocryptine and ergotamine, ergocornine and ergosine, and ergocristine, respectively. All of the strains either lacked the ability to produce conidia or formed them sparingly, but they accumulated large quantities of lipids and sterols. The fermentations are typically divided into two phases. The first is characterized by the rapid utilization and exhaustion of the phosphate contained in the medium, rapid uptake of ammonium nitrogen and of citric acid, rapid growth, and low alkaloid production; the second phase is characterized by slower growth and by a marked accumulation of lipids, sterols, and alkaloids.
