Agroclavine, given to actively-growing sclerotial tissue of a strain of Claviceps purpurea which can not normally elaborate ergot alkaloids, was transformed by this tissue into lysergic acid amide with overall efficiency of approximately 40%. By contrast, festuclavine (8,9-dihydro-agroclavine) was not transformed, indicating specificity in the mechanism of lysergyl biosynthesis.
将农吉利麦角碱给予一株通常不能合成麦角生物碱的紫麦角菌的正在活跃生长的菌核组织,该组织将其转化为麦角酰胺,总效率约为40%。相比之下,雀麦角碱(8,9-二氢农吉利麦角碱)未被转化,这表明麦角酰生物合成机制具有特异性。
