Abstract
A decarboxylase in cells of Micrococcus strains converts tryptophan, phenylalanine, and substitution products thereof to the corresponding phenyl- and indolylethylamines. The enzyme can be recovered in pure state from the microorganisms, but cells and cell material are effective enzyme sources in the decarboxylation reaction.
