Fungi - an Amalgam of Toxins and Antibiotics: a Mini- Review [PDF]
, 2020 Fungi are eukaryotes with many functions. Earlier, fungi were classified in the plant kingdom but were later classified as a separate kingdom due to their unique cell walls. Fungi are heterotrophs like animals and are more closely related to animals. The

Report on the 2017 Proficiency Test of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Mycotoxins: determination of ergot alkaloids in rye [PDF]
, 2017 Throughout history, there have been several deadly episodes of food poisoning by ergot alkaloids (EAs) (known as St. Anthony’s fire or ergotism). EAs are secondary metabolites produced by fungi of the Claviceps genus (chiefly Claviceps purpurea), which ...

Research progress on the contamination hazards and control of ergot alkaloids
Zhongguo shipin weisheng zazhiErgot alkaloids are a type of alkaloids secondary metabolic produced by Claviceps or Epichloë spp infected with black barley， wheat， rye， rice， corn， oats， and various other gramineous plants. Long-term exposure to ergot alkaloids can result in extensive

Genetics, Genomics and Evolution of Ergot Alkaloid Diversity
Toxins, 2015 The ergot alkaloid biosynthesis system has become an excellent model to study evolutionary diversification of specialized (secondary) metabolites. This is a very diverse class of alkaloids with various neurotropic activities, produced by fungi in several

Relationships among Ergot Alkaloids, Cytochrome P450 Activity, and Beef Steer Growth
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015 Determining a grazing animal’s susceptibility to ergot alkaloids has been a research topic for decades. Our objective was to determine if the Promega™ P450-Glo assay could be used to indirectly detect ergot alkaloids or their metabolites in urine of ...

Plant-symbiotic fungi as chemical engineers: multi-genome analysis of the Clavicipitaceae reveals dynamics of alkaloid Loci [PDF]
, 2013 The fungal family Clavicipitaceae includes plant symbionts and parasites that produce several psychoactive and bioprotective alkaloids. The family includes grass symbionts in the epichloae clade (Epichloë and Neotyphodium species), which are ...

Pd-catalyzed enantioselective aerobic oxidation of secondary alcohols: Applications to the total synthesis of alkaloids [PDF]
, 2008 Enantioselective syntheses of the alkaloids (-)-aurantioclavine, (+)-amurensinine, (-)-lobeline, and (-)- and (+)-sedamine are described. The syntheses demonstrate the effectiveness of the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of secondary alcohols in ...

Ergot Alkaloid Contents in Hybrid Rye are Reduced by Breeding
Agriculture, 2021 Contamination by ergot caused by the phytopathogenic fungus Claviceps purpurea is a constant threat to the whole rye value chain. Ergot alkaloids (EA) produced within the fungal sclerotia are toxic for humans and animals and are subjected to strict ...
