Figure 6From: Production of 3,4-dihydroxy L-phenylalanine by a newly isolated Aspergillus niger and parameter significance analysis by Plackett-Burman designEvaluation of potassium sources for the propagation of A. niger GCBT-8 for L-dopa production. a) Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate conc., b) Potassium dihydrogen phosphate conc. Glucose conc. 6% (w/v), propagation time 48 h, initial pH 5.5. Standard bars indicate standard deviation (± sd) among the three parallel replicates which differ significantly at p ≤ 0.05 (L-tyrosine consumed - × -, L-dopa produced - ○ -).Back to article page
