Abstract
The authors screened 37 strains of various species of the Penicillium genus for the purpose of studying alkaloid formation. It was shown tha t the capability of biosynthesis of alkaloids is common among represen tatives of various species, and that this process depends on the cultu ring conditions. New cultures that produce rugulovasine (P. chrysogenu m, P. purpurrescens, P. cyclopium), meleagrine (P. purpurrescens, P. p uberilum), and clavine alkaloids (P. canescens, P. crustosum, P. expan sum, P. oxalicum) were revealed.
