Abstract excerpt
A microorganism with the ability to form L-tryptophan from D,L-5-(3-indolyl-methyl)hydantoin (D,L-5-IMH) was isolated and identified as Arthrobacter sp. (DSM 3747). After isolation of a mutant with high tryptophan production activity but low tryptophan degradation, cultural conditions were optimi...
