STIMULATORY EFFECT OF SODIUM DEOXYCHOLATE ON α-ERGOCRYPTINE PRODUCTIVITY OF CLAVICEPS PURPUREA 94002(EKPN94002)
-
Abstract
The stimulation of sodium deoxycholate (SDC) on α-ergocryptine production of Claviceps purpurea strain 94002(EKPN94002) was investigated. Preliminary results indicated that SDC, as a stimulator and at appropriate concentrations, could obviously increase the extracellular and the total production levels of the ergot alkaloid. Satisfied results were obtained when 6.0 mg·L-1 of SDC was present in the seed and fermentation media. The possible mechanism was discussed.
