The invention relates to a method for improving the efficiency of catalytic production of L-dopa by
tyrosine phenol lyase. The method is characterized by comprising the steps: (1) selecting a single colony, inoculating a
test tube containing an LB culture medium with the single colony, adding
kanamycin (50 mg / L) at the temperature of 30-37 DEG C, at the speed of 220 rpm, culturing for 12-16 h, andthus obtaining primary seeds; (2) inoculating a shaking flask containing a
fermentation culture medium with the primary seeds, and culturing for 10-12 h; (3) centrifuging, collecting
bacteria to obtain the
bacteria, breaking cells by
ultrasound, and centrifuging at high speed to obtain a supernatant
enzyme liquid; and (4) adding an
enzyme solution into a substrate solution, stirring evenly, and carrying out sealed oscillation reaction at the temperature of 25 DEG C, wherein the substrate solution comprises 14-16 g / L of
sodium pyruvate, 10-12 g / L of
catechol, 50-60 g / L of
ammonium acetate, 2-5g / L of
sodium sulfite, and 1-3 g / L of EDTA, and the pH is adjusted to 7.5-8.5. The concentration of the
reaction product reaches 20 g / L or more, and 10-30 g / L of L-dopa crystals are added to induce the product to crystallize in advance. The method greatly improves the conversion rate and the product concentration, improves the product quality, has simple process, low cost and high yield, and hasthe application value of industrial production.
