Summary
Viable or non-viable cells of Corynebacterium dismutans synthesised 14C-alanine using 14C-glucose as its carbon source and ammonia as its nitrogen source under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The viable or non-viable cells preparations were immobilized using several methods; both preparations immobilized by entrapment in a polyacrylamide gel matrix were thermostable and active in synthesis of alanine.
