P. ETTLER, V. VLČEK, J. LINDOVSKÝ, P. HARAZIM

During the cultivation of Claviceps sp. besides ergot alkaloids a large amount of ergot oil is formed. A separate isolation process for purification of rafinated oil was developed. This substrate was successfully used for some biosynthetic processes as antifoam agent partial carbon source. Phys. chem. properties of ergot oil are presented.
