Reaction Steps

Strains of bacteria of Escherichia coli KB 862-pGH5 disclosed in PCT Application No. (WO 94-08031) were inoculated in a culture medium (pH 6.5) comprising 130 g/L of glucose, 25 g/L of ammonium sulfate, 12 g/L of fumaric acid, 3 ml/L of acetic acid, 1 g/L of KH2PO4, 10 mg/L of MnSO4.7H2O, 1 g/L of MgSO4.7H2O, 10 mg/L of a soybean protein hydrolyzate (as nitrogen), 2 mg/L of thiamine hydrochloride, 50 g/L of calcium carbonate and 0.05 mg/L of biotin, and cultured while agitating at 30° C. for 72 hours to form an L-tryptophan ferment broth. Next, resultant fermentation broth was dried using a laboratory mini-spray dryer to obtain 400 g of a powder having the composition below.
