Claviceps purpurea - Open Access .click

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1970
Abstract The 60–80% ammonium sulfate fraction of Claviceps purpurea PRL 1980 catalyzed the conversion of agroclavine to elymoclavine. The reaction required NADPH. EDTA and cyanide inhibited the reaction. Agroclavine increased the rate of oxidation of NADPH. The increase in rate was 4.8 μmoles NADPH per h mg protein at 25° and pH 7.0.

Host infection by Claviceps purpurea

Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1980
Infection of wheat and rye by Claviceps purpurea and its subsequent sphacelial development was investigated by light and electron microscopy. Penetration occurred via the stigma and ovary wall and colonization was intercellular. Pectolytic enzymes were detected both in submerged cultures of the fungus and in infected ovaries and may play a part in ...
