Application

L-Tyrosine decarboxylase from Streptococcus faecalis has been used in a study to isolate and identify the carbonyl-active site of diamine oxidase by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry. L-Tyrosine decarboxylase from Streptococcus faecalis has also been used in a study to investigate the adsorption of Streptococcus faecalis on diatomite carriers for use in biotransformations.

Adsorption of cells on particulate carriers is potentially one of the most cost-effective immobilization techniques available. Diatomite carriers, such as Celite, have desirable physical properties, are inexpensive, and are suitable for both mycelial and bacterial systems. This work investigated the
