The failure ofl -leucine to stimulate ergot alkaloid production in a synthetic medium indicates that the previously observed stimulation by tryptophan and tryptophan analogues does not merely represent a nutritional effect. Tryptophan, but not mevalonate or 5-methyltryptophan, is able to overcome the inhibition of alkaloid synthesis by high levels of inorganic phosphate. Therefore, high phosphate levels seem to limit the synthesis of tryptophan; they may, in addition, prevent induction of alkaloid synthesis by preventing accumulation of tryptophan. Experiments which indicate a 2- to 3-fold temporary increase of intracellular free tryptophan and a 20- to 25-fold increase of tryptophan synthetase activity during the transition period between growth and alkaloid production phase are in agreement with the previously postulated induction of alkaloid synthesis by tryptophan. The latter experiments also indicate 4- to 6-fold repression of this enzyme by tryptophan.
