Figure 3From: High performance microbiological transformation of L-tyrosine to L-dopa by Yarrowia lipolyticaNRRL-143Time course of L-dopa production and L-tyrosine consumption by Y. lipolytica NRRL-143 (L-tyrosine consumed -∘-, L-Dopa produced -×-). a. Control (3.5 mg/ml L-tyrosine and 3.0 mg/ml cell biomass) b. Test (2.0 mg/ml diatomite added 15 min after the start of reaction to 3.5 mg/ml L-tyrosine and 3.0 mg/ml cell biomass). The total reaction time was 50 min at 50°C.Back to article page
