[Effect of the nutrient medium composition on biotin biosynthesis by an Actinomyces species 313-152 culture]
Abstract:
The effect of the composition of the nutrient medium on the biosynthesis of biotin by the culture Actinomyces species 313-152 was investigated. This microorganism can synthesize biotin on simple and complex media. The biotin synthesis is stimulated by oleic acid and Tween-80 utilized by the culture as a carbon source. The exogenous biotin added at concentrations of 1 x 10(-8) M to 1 x 10(-6) M to the medium containing fodder yeast hydrolyzate and Tween-80 did not inhibit the synthesis by the culture Actinomyces species 313-152.
