✦ Synopsis

Metabolic pattern of mycelial Claviceps paspuli seed cultures during the submerged cultivation was established. By comparing it with conidial and mycelial Claviceps purpurea strains it was found that the biosynthesis of RNA, DNA, and proteins followed a similar course in all Claviceps strains, so the fall of RNA content in mycelium may be considered a general biochemical indicator for optimally developed inoculum. But, two different patterns of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were observed one for conidial and one for mycelial strains.
