[Morphological differentiation of cells in submerged cultures of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul., producing alkaloids].
Differentiation of the cells of the submerged culture of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. was studied by electron microscopy. Two types of oviform cell were found: (1) the conidia which had one nucleus and vacuolized cytoplasm and were not involved in the production of alkaloids; (2) the chlamydospores with two nuclei, homogeneous cytoplasm, and high content in lipids. The chlamydospores, like the cells of sclerotia, were found to produce alkoloids.
