Popis: Several l -amino acids are currently manufactured by using enzymes or whole-cells contained within bioreactors. Production of l -aspartic acid in Japan is one of the earliest examples of this technology. A bioreactor method recently scaled-up for manufacture of l -phenylalanine from cinnamic acid and ammonia achieves product titers of over 60 g/l and a raw material conversion of about 90%. A bioreactor process in development for making l -serine from glycine and formaldehyde exploits rDNA technology and reaches an l -serine titer of over 400 g/l. The l -serine can be enzymatically converted to L-tryptophan to achieve a bioreactor titer of about 200 g/l.
