The biosynthesis of the lactone moiety ofacaterin was studied using Pseudomona~ sp. A92. Feeding experiment with (2R S)-[1 -I 3C]glycerol revealed that glycerol is efficiently incorporated into the branched three-carbon unit (C-3, C-4 and C-5 positions) of acaterin and its precursor, 4,5--didehydroa
Timecourse studies were performed which compared the influence of 5-methyltryptophan to tryptophan on alkaloid formation in ergot strain SD-58. Evidence was obtained that confirms the role of tryptophan as an inducer of alkaloid synthesis. Additional studies were conducted to determine the incorpora
