Abstract
Simultaneous reduction in alkaloid yield and level of phosphatases by high concentrations of phosphate was observed inClaviceps sp. SD-58. Tryptophan-induced culture showed an increase in alkaloid yield and the level of phosphatases. Phosphate caused repression of both acid phosphatase (isoenzyme I) and alkaline phosphatase (isoenzymes III and V).
