Figure 4From: Rhodococcus erythropolis MTHt3 biotransforms ergopeptines to lysergic acid Concentration of ergot alkaloids in Claviceps purpurea ergot-extract incubated with R. erythropolis MTHt3. Extract was incubated with R. erythropolis MTHt3 (â– ) at 1.6% of maximum cell density reached in TSB, or in the same sodium phosphate buffer without biomass (â—‹) (data from single flasks plotted; peak areas determined by LC/ESI-MS/MS; not calibrated).Back to article page
