Abstract
Propionibacterium pentosaceum when transferred continuously on a basal medium free of vitamin B1 can be trained to synthesize this vitamin to satisfy its growth requirements. A technique for the assay of vitamin B1 is described which is based on the increased anaerobic pyruvate metabolism of vitamin B1-deficient cells of P. pentosaceum occurring on the addition of the vitamin.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
