Biotechnological Strategies of Riboflavin Biosynthesis in Microbes

Engineering, 2022
Riboflavin is an essential micronutrient for humans and must be obtained exogenously from foods or supplements. Numerous studies have suggested a major role of riboflavin in the prevention and treatment of various diseases.

Riboflavin Supplementation Promotes Butyrate Production in the Absence of Gross Compositional Changes in the Gut Microbiota

Antioxidants and Redox Signaling, 2022
Aims: We performed a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, RIBOGUT, to study the effect of 2 weeks supplementation with either 50 or 100 mg/d of riboflavin on (i) Faecalibacterium prausnitzii abundance, (ii) gut microbiota composition, (iii) short-chain ...

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.

Co-Overexpression of RIB1 and RIB6 Increases Riboflavin Production in the Yeast Candida famata

Fermentation, 2022
Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin and a precursor of flavin coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide, and flavin adenine dinucleotide, which play a key role as enzyme cofactors in energy metabolism.

Extracellular riboflavin induces anaerobic biofilm formation in Shewanella oneidensis

bioRxiv, 2021
Background Some microorganisms can respire with extracellular electron acceptors using an extended electron transport chain to the cell surface. This process can be applied in bioelectrochemical systems in which the organisms produce an electrical ...

Riboflavin-Induced Disease Resistance Requires the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases 3 and 6 in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
As a resistance elicitor, riboflavin (vitamin B2) protects plants against a wide range of pathogens. At molecular biological levels, it is important to elucidate the signaling pathways underlying the disease resistance induced by riboflavin.

Riboflavin Status in Pregnancy and Its Relationship with Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Risk of Hypertension: Findings from the OptiPREG Observational Study

Proceedings, 2023
Clinical riboflavin deficiency is common in low- and middle-income countries, whilst sub-optimal riboflavin status may be much more prevalent globally than generally recognized, including in high-income countries.

Riboflavin: The Health Benefits of a Forgotten Natural Vitamin

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 ...
