title: Biotransformation of tryptophan by liquid medium culture of Psilocybe coprophila (Basidiomycetes).
abstract: Chemical reactions performed by fungi have been used as a modern tool in chemistry. In this work, we show the tryptophan biotransformation with Psilocybe coprophila on liquid culture medium. The results prove once more the versatility of fungi in performing a wide range of industrially attractive chemical reactions.
