Reaction Steps

In 50 g of Triton X-100 was dissolved 20 g of indole, and 36 g of DL-serine, 1 g of Na2SO3, 100 mg of pyridoxal phosphate and the above-mentioned two kinds of cells collected by centrifugal separation were added to the solution so that the entire volume was 1 l. The reaction liquid was shaken at a temperature of 30° C. and pH of 8.5 for 72 hours to effect reaction. After the reaction, 28.5 g of L-tryptophan was formed and accumulated in the reaction liquid (the yield was 41% based on serine).
