Abstract
A purple non‐sulphur anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides could synthesize L‐tryptophan from indole and glycine with intermediate formation of D,L‐alanine and L‐serine. Presence of externally supplied keto acids has enhanced the rate and yields of L‐tryptophan photoproduction.
