Figure 5From: Rhodococcus erythropolis MTHt3 biotransforms ergopeptines to lysergic acid Dependance of ergotamine and ergine biotransformation on pH. R. erythropolis MTHt3 at 2% of maximum cell density reached in TSB was incubated with 5 mg/ml ergotamine or ergine in Teorell-Stenhagen buffer at various pH at 25°C. Samples from ergotamine biotransformation reactions were taken after 2 h, and samples from ergine biotransformation reactions were taken after 10 h.Back to article page
