Studies on ergot alkaloids fermentation exposed to aluminium dodecyl sulfate

Some of the unique characteristics of reverse micelles MCs make them very useful for biotechnological application. The characteristic size of micelles toward the pharmaceutical uses varies from 10 to 80 nm. The influence of aluminium dodecyl sulfate on ergot alkaloids fermentation by Claviceps purpurea BPS-1660 has been studied. It has been found that micelle under trial has enhanced the yield of ergot alkaloids to an extent of 6.737% higher in comparison to control when 200 g sugar solution is allowed to ferment at 270C temperature, 5.4 pH and 8 days of optimum incubation period.
