From: Rhodococcus erythropolis MTHt3 biotransforms ergopeptines to lysergic acid
Concentration of ergot alkaloids after incubation of ergotamine (A) or ergine (B) with R. erythropolis MTHt3, or buffer alone. Biomass concentration: 2% of maximum cell density reached in TSB; buffer: Teorell-Stenhagen buffer pH 7.0; ergot alkaloid starting concentration: 5 mg/l (=8.6 μM ergotamine or 18.7 μM ergine). Plotted data are from single biotransformation reactions.
