title: Microbial production of L-phenylalanine: a review.
abstract: Microbial production of L-phenylalanine by direct fermentation and by substrate conversion has been reviewed. The review also includes a discussion on different other methods for phenylalanine production, their advantages and disadvantages with mutants and genetically tailored strains. Biosynthesis of phenylalanine, its regulation in hyperproducing strains and recovery of phenylalanine has been discussed in brief.
