| Abstract: | A purple non-sulfur anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5 was able to photobiotransform indole in the presence of various organic substrates to its value-added derivatives tryptophan, tryptamine, indole lactic acid and indigo, which are of high commercial value. The product formed varied with the precursors provided in the medium. Received 21 August 1997/ Accepted in revised form 10 January 1998 |
