Abstract

---

In the present study, mould mycelium of Aspergillus oryzae was used for biochemical conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA because tyrosinase is an intracellular enzyme. The mutant Aspergillus oryzae IIB-6 was found to yield 3.72 fold higher production of L-DOPA than the parental strain. The comparison of kinetic parameters was also done which showed the greater ability of mutant to yield L-DOPA. When cultures grown on various incubation periods, were monitored for Qp, Qs and qp, there was significant enhancement (p
