title: Photoproduction of L-tryptophan from indole and glycine by Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5.
abstract: A purple non-sulphur anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides could synthesize L-tryptophan from indole and glycine with intermediate formation of D,L-alanine and L-serine. Presence of externally supplied keto acids has enhanced the rate and yields of L-tryptophan photoproduction.
