TAL also has activity as Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase (PAL) via conversion of L-phenylalanine to ammonia and ''trans''-cinnamic acid. The [http://www.atcc.org/ATCCAdvancedCatalogSearch/ProductDetails/tabid/452/Default.aspx?ATCCNum=36575&Template=fungiYeast ''Rhodotorula glutinis''] TAL was selected specifically because of its relatively high TAL/PAL activity ratio, and its successful expression in ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' and ''Escherichia coli''. The ''p''-coumaric acid produced by TAL will later be converted to resveratrol, while the ''trans''-cinnamic acid will add a "floral" and "honey-like" bouquet to the beer. |
