Extensive Identification of Bacterial Riboflavin Transporters and Their Distribution across Bacterial Species [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Riboflavin, the precursor for the cofactors flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide, is an essential metabolite in all organisms. While the functions for de novo riboflavin biosynthesis and riboflavin import may coexist in bacteria ...

Role of riboflavin biosynthesis gene duplication and transporter in Aeromonas salmonicida virulence in marine teleost fish

Virulence, 2023
Active flavins derived from riboflavin (vitamin B2) are essential for life. Bacteria biosynthesize riboflavin or scavenge it through uptake systems, and both mechanisms may be present.

Corneal absorption of a new riboflavin-nanostructured system for transepithelial collagen cross-linking. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) has been described as a promising therapy for keratoconus. According to standard CXL protocol, epithelium should be debrided before treatment to allow penetration of riboflavin into the corneal stroma.
