Claviceps purpurea has been shown to produce extracellular l-tryptophan from indole in stirred fermentors. The substrate specificity of this conversion was investigated by using substituted indoles, anthranilic acid, and 4-chloro-anthranilic acid. Addition of 2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-methyl indole

Tyrian purple, mainly composed of 6,6'-dibromoindigo (6BrIG), is an ancient dye extracted from sea snails and was recently demonstrated as a biocompatible semiconductor material. However, its synthesis remains limited due to uncharacterized biosynthetic pathways and the difficulty of regiospecific bromination.
