The distribution of tyrosine phenol lyase activity in microorganisms was studied with intact cells in a synthetic reaction mixture containingl-serine and phenol or pyrocatechol. This activity was found in various bacteria, most of which belonged to theEnterobacteriaceae; especially to the generaEscherichia, ProteusandErwinia. Cells ofErwinia herbicolaATCC 21434 were selected as a promising source of enzyme.Intact cells ofErwinia herbicolaATCC 21434 prepared from a broth cultured for 24 hr contained markedly high enzymic activity and catalyzed the synthetic reaction ofl-tyrosine or 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (l-dopa) froml-serine and phenol or pyrocatechol in significantly high yields.Results of the isolation and identification of the products showed that the amino acid synthesized by this enzymatic method was identical withl-tyrosine orl-dopa.
