Bioconversion of phenyllactate to phenylalanine by bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas

Bioconversion of phenyllactate to phenylalanine by bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas The nature of phenylalanine auxotrophy in Pseudomonas sp. strain M9 was studied. A metabolic defect was found after the aromatic amino acid pathway branches from chorismate, so that the latter could not be converted to phenylpiruvate. It was shown that enzymatic activity of the strain could convert phenyllactate to phenylalanine. The reaction mechanisms were studied, and approaches to increasing the rate of the process and phenylalanine yield were proposed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Springer Journals

Abstract

The nature of phenylalanine auxotrophy in Pseudomonas sp. strain M9 was studied. A metabolic defect was found after the aromatic amino acid pathway branches from chorismate, so that the latter could not be converted to phenylpiruvate. It was shown that enzymatic activity of the strain could convert phenyllactate to phenylalanine. The reaction mechanisms were studied, and approaches to increasing the rate of the process and phenylalanine yield were proposed.
