From: Contribution of a novel gene to lysergic acid amide synthesis in Metarhizium brunneum
Effect of estA/easP double mutation relative to easP mutation on accumulation of LAH and other lysergic acid amides in M. brunneum. Alkaloids are expressed as moles of ergot alkaloids per mass of the fungus-unique sterol ergosterol as a surrogate for fungal biomass. Data represent means (n = 6 fungus-infected G. mellonella larvae), and error bars represent standard error. Extracts were prepared seven days after infection. Strains, within an alkaloid type, marked with different letters differed significantly (P < 0.05)
