Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Phenylalanine synthesis from glucose and ammonia was studied using a hyperproducing mutant of Escherichia coli. Kinetic parameters (typical values : 8.7 g phenylalanine/l, yield on glucose 0.19 g/g, productivity 0.44 g/l/h) were similar to batch culture values.
