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]
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 ...

Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin that must be acquired from the diet. Riboflavin uptake takes place through carrier-mediated absorption in the small intestine. Insight into human riboflavin transport and metabolism has expanded; currently, three inborn errors of riboflavin transport and metabolism are known. Riboflavin transporter deficiencies can
