Abstract
A study was made of the distribution of the phosphorus-containing compounds in the phosphate pool of stationary cultures of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. Exogenous KH2PO4was mainly converted to ribonucleic acid. Conditions favorable to increased nucleic acid synthesis increased the yield of ergot alkaloids. The proportion of nucleic acid and acid-insoluble phosphate fraction appeared to be an important factor influencing the ergot alkaloid production.Keywords
