Disorders of riboflavin metabolism [PDF]

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2019
AbstractRiboflavin (vitamin B2), a water‐soluble vitamin, is an essential nutrient in higher organisms as it is not endogenously synthesised, with requirements being met principally by dietary intake. Tissue‐specific transporter proteins direct riboflavin to the intracellular machinery responsible for the biosynthesis of the flavocoenzymes flavin ...

Real-Time Detection of Riboflavin Production by Lactobacillus plantarum Strains and Tracking of Their Gastrointestinal Survival and Functionality in vitro and in vivo Using mCherry Labeling [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) produce riboflavin, a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex, essential for human beings. Here, we have evaluated riboflavin (B2 vitamin) production by five Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from chicha ...

Evaluation of Riboflavin Transporters as Targets for Drug Delivery and Theranostics

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
The retention and cellular internalization of drug delivery systems and theranostics for cancer therapy can be improved by targeting molecules. Since an increased uptake of riboflavin was reported for various cancers, riboflavin and its derivatives may ...

Overview on the Bacterial Iron-Riboflavin Metabolic Axis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Redox reactions are ubiquitous in biological processes. Enzymes involved in redox metabolism often use cofactors in order to facilitate electron-transfer reactions. Common redox cofactors include micronutrients such as vitamins and metals.

Riboflavin: The Health Benefits of a Forgotten Natural Vitamin [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Riboflavin (RF) is a water-soluble member of the B-vitamin family. Sufficient dietary and supplemental RF intake appears to have a protective effect on various medical conditions such as sepsis, ischemia etc., while it also contributes to the reduction ...

Riboflavin Production by Steady-State Continuous Cultures of Hyphopichia wangnamkhiaoensis in a Bubble Column Bioreactor [PDF]

Microorganisms
Riboflavin is biosynthesized and excreted extracellularly by the novel yeast Hyphopichia wangnamkhiaoensis. The steady-state kinetics of cell growth, substrate consumption, and riboflavin production by H.

Structure and transport mechanism of human riboflavin transporters [PDF]

Nature Communications
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is the precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which act as key cofactors of many enzymes, thus has essential roles in cell growth and functions. Animals cannot synthesize riboflavin in situ,

Searching for external sources of the riboflavin stored in earthworm eleocytes [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is essential to maintain immune potency in animals and plants. So far is accepted that animals cannot synthesise riboflavin; they rely on plant-sourced diets and intestinal bacteria for their supplies.

Riboflavin Biosynthesis and Overproduction by a Derivative of the Human Gut Commensal Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is the precursor of the essential coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Despite increased interest in microbial synthesis of this water-soluble vitamin, the metabolic pathway for riboflavin ...
