Effect of biotin on alkaloid production during submerged cultivation of Claviceps sp. strain SD-58.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Addition of biotin to culture medium NL-406 significantly increased alkaloid yield during submerged cultivation of Claviceps sp. strain SD-58. Alkaloid yield was further enhanced by incorporating leucine in biotin-supplemented culture medium. Increased alkaloid production was associated with an increase in the lipid content of cells and in the number of chlamydospores. Biotin deficiency caused a reduction in alkaloid yield and a parallel decrease in lipid content and chlamydospore numbers.

Cytochemical localization of polysaccharides in Claviceps paspali ultrastructure during submerged fermentation of alkaloids.
Morphological characteristics of two types of elements in the submerged mycelium of Claviceps paspali are described. Distribution of polysaccharides in the cell wall and cytoplasm was cytochemically determined at the ultrastructural level. Polysaccharide deposition into the cell walls was proportional to the increase in the alkaloid yield. In the cytoplasm, on the other hand, the presence of po...
متن کاملHeterokaryosis and alkaloid production in Claviceps purpurea.
Strain 275 FI of Claviceps purpurea, which produces large amounts of peptide alkaloids in submerged culture, is a heterokaryon; after several generations on agar media, it segregates the single components. These components (by us labeled V, C, and W) are stable and produce almost no alkaloids under described conditions of submerged culture. The mycelium of strain 275 FI consists of hyphae with ...
متن کاملMethods for mutation and selection of the ergot fungus.
A new method is described in which the Salkowski reaction is used for the rapid selection of alkaloid-producing mutants of the ergot fungus. This method was used to investigate the influence of a second mutation with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) on various mutants selected by a preliminary NTG mutation of Claviceps sp. strain SD 58. Three groups of mutants were used: high alkaloid...
متن کاملProduction of peptide ergot alkaloids in submerged culture by three isolates of Claviceps purpurea.
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 divide...
متن کاملAutolysis of extracellular glucans produced in vitro by a strain of Claviceps fusiformis.
Claviceps fusiformis usually produces a stable viscous glucan during submerged culture fermentations. A new strain 139/2/1 G of the fungus, which subsequently autolysed this glucan to glucose, was studied and the autolysis ascribed to a constitutive PI -+ 3 glucanase and a P-glucosidase which were detected as soon as the fungal hyphae differentiated to a sclerotial form. The glucanase productio...
