Anodic reactions in microbial fuel cells.

abstract：:The whole cell tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL, E.C. 4.1.99.2) activity of Erwinia herbicola (ATCC 21434) was microen-capsulated. We studied the use of this for the conversion of ammonia and pyruvate along with phenol or catechol, respectively, into L-tyrosine or dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-dopa). The reactions are releva...
