Just was searching pubmed and found this reference... thought folks here might be interested.... I havent been keeping up with things here lately, so I hope it hasnt been posted somewhere that the search i did didnt find. anyway check this out:

Biojammer:
Wrong link, it showes this article: "Neurochemical changes in brain serotonin neurons in immature and adult offspring prenatally exposed to cocaine "
The correct link is Medline (PMID=11035188)
Your link would then be DOI:10.1016/S0006-8993(00)02382-9
For this I used the extremely useful [ medline ] and [ doi ] tags, so no more cutting 'n pasting!

Hydrolysis of lysergamide to lysergic acid by Rhodococcus equi A4
Journal of Biotechnology 84(1), 63-66 (2000) (../rhodium/pdf /lysergamide2
Abstract
From a mixture of lysergamide and its epimer isolysergamide, Rhodococcus equi A4 containing amidase preferentially hydrolyzed lysergamide into lysergic acid.
DOI:10.1016/S0168-1656(00)00332-1
The article also gives a very inefficient hydrolysis of ergotamine:
2.2. Ergotamine hydrolysis
Ergotamine (30 g, 0.0515 mol) was hydrolyzed using 2 h reflux with KOH (4 g) in 120 ml of water:ethanol (1:3). The resulting mixture contained lysergamide (39.1 mol.%), isolysergamide (35.9 mol.%), lysergic acid (8.9 mol.%) and isolysergic acid (3.0 mol.%).
