Summary Kinetic parameters of production of clavine alkaloids were evaluated in twoClaviceps purpurea strains. Mutagenesis brought about enhanced resistance of the biosynthetic system towards alkaloids. Addition of glucose into the fermentation medium altered the zero order kinetics of production to activation-inhibition kinetics. The glucose treatment allowed performance of both “elymoclavine-inhibitionless” and “clavine alkaloid-decompositionless” fermentations if a combination of fermentation and separation units in a closed loop was used.
