[Increased flavinogenesis in 1 of the strains of Candida tropicalis]

Candida tropicalis IBFM 303 is capable of the active production and liberation of flavins during the oxidation of solid paraffins with the carbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms and more. Unlike other known strains, this strain does not accumulate considerable amounts of the vitamin neither on media containing liquid n-paraffins not on media with glucose, even under the conditions of iron deficiency.
