Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Microorganisms and processes for the recombinant manufacture of clavine-type alkaloids such as cycloclavine, festuclavine, agroclavine, chanoclavine and chanoclavine aldehyde, as well as polypeptides, polynucleotides and vectors comprising such polynucleotides which can be applied in a method for the manufacture of clavine-type alkaloids are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A recombinant microorganism comprising an exogenous or overexpressed polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that is capable of converting chanoclavine I to cycloclavine when expressed together with polynucleotides having nucleic acid sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 103, 105, and 108, wherein the exogenous or overexpressed polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 95. 2. The recombinant microorganism of claim 1 which is not a natural ergot alkaloid producer organism and comprises an exogenous polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 95. 3. The recombinant microorganism of claim 1 , comprising at least one compound selected from the group of compounds consisting of: a. Cycloclavine, b. Festuclavine, c. Agroclavine, d. Chanoclavine aldehyde and e. Chanoclavine I.
