| Abstract | Celite is a unique variety of 2:1 clay mineral and is referred to as hydrous mica because it is believed to be the␣weathering product of mica. The present study describe the effect of celite on microbiological conversion of l-tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (l-DOPA) by Aspergillus oryzae ME$_{2}$. At optimum pH (pH$_{o}$=6), and temperature (t=30 °C), 100% sugars were utilized for cell mass formation. Mould mycelium was used for biochemical conversion of l-tyrosine to l-DOPA because tyrosinases, β-carboxylases and tyrosine hydroxylases are intracellular enzymes. The maximum conversion of l-tyrosine to l-DOPA (0.428 mg/ml) was achieved after 60 min of reaction. To further enhance the production of l-DOPA, different concentration of celite were added to the reaction mixture. Best results were observed when the concentration of celite was 3.5 μM (1.686 mg l-DOPA produced/ml with 1.525 mg l-tyrosine consumed/ml). There was up to 3-fold enhancement in the product formation rate. This enhancement is the highest so far reported. Celite not only increased enzyme activity but also enhanced the permeability of the cell membrane to facilitate the secretion of enzymes in to the reaction broth. The comparison of kinetic parameters showed the ability of the mutant to yield l-DOPA (i.e., Y $_{p/x}$ 7.360±0.04 mg/mg). When the culture grown on various celite levels was monitored for Q $_{p}$, Q $_{s}$ and q $_{p}$, there was significant enhancement (P<0.025) in these variables over the control, which indicates that the study can be commercially applicable (HS, LSD 0.456). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
