ABSTRACT:
The method for producing D-tryptophan with high optical purity and high yield is provided, which comprises contacting a mixture of D,L-tryptophan with organisms which produce tryptophanase to degrade L-tryptophan selectively, thereby increasing the content of D-tryptophan in D,L-tryptophan.
