1. The production of a new lysergic acid derivative, identified as D-lysergic acid α -hydroxyethylamide, in submerged culture and in yields up to 1 mg/ml. and above, by a strain of Claviceps paspali Stevens & Hall is reported; this substance can be converted in high yields into D-lysergic acid amide. 2. The morphological properties of this strain under different culture conditions are examined and it is shown that it grows in a form resembling natural sclerotia. 3. The biochemical culture conditions for the production of the new lysergic acid derivative in shake flasks and in stirred fermenters, the course of the fermentation, the methods for the isolation and purification of the substance and its transformation products and some of its chemical and physical properties are described.

Using a strain of Claviceps paspali Mar 488 it has been shown that alanine-2-C14 is incorporated with high efficiency in the carbinol amide moiety of D-Lysergic acid-α-hydroxyethylamide=II. After feeding of ᴅʟ-alanine-15N, DL-aspartic acid-15N and ʟ-glutamine-CO-15NH2 the highest specific incorporation rate was observed with DL-alanine-15N. Short term experiments with ᴅ,ʟ-alanine-15N revealed, that the greater part of the 15N-excess is localized in the N-atom of the side-chain of II. The carbinolamide moiety of the isolated alkaloid arises probably from alanine or a closely related compound.

Chemical changes in the mycelium of the conidial Claviceps paspali mutant strain, isolated after γ irradiation, were followed during the course of submerged fermentation and compared with the mycelial parent strain; both strains are capable of producing simple lysergic acid derivatives. The syntheses of lipids, carbohydrates, phosphates, nucleic acids, proteins, and alkaloids, as well as nutrient uptake, were determined. It was found that conidiation induced by mutagenic treatment was accompanied by a set of changes in the metabolic pattern. In the conidial mutant, the primary and secondary metabolic activities were repressed and the protein to nonprotein compound ratio of the cells was changed in favour of protein compounds.
