Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The effect of chloramphenicol, streptomycin, oxytetracycline and tetracycline on growth intensity and production of clavine alkaloids in submerged cultures ofClaviceps fusiformis W1 was studied. Chloramphenicol (70–275 μg/mL) is suitable for prevention of bacterial contaminations of saprophyticClaviceps cultures and has no negative effect on the magnitude and spectrum of alkaloid production.
