Abstract

It was found that 2-hydroxy-3-phenylpropenoic acid, phenyllactic acid, phenylacetic acid and β-phenylethylalcohol were formed in the broth of Saccharomyces rouxii cultured with phenylalanine as substrate. 2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropenoic acid (HPPA) was formed from phenylalanine (d- and l- form) via phenyllactic acid (d- and l- form) and degraded to phenylacetic acid.On the other hand, β-phenylethylalcohol was formed from phenylalanine via β-phenylethylamine. Further degradation of phenylacetic acid and β-phenylethylalcohol was not observed in this experiment. From these results, a metabolic pathway of phenylalanine in Saccharomyces rouxii was proposed.
