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 ...

Characterization and Reuse of Lithium‐ion Battery Cathode Material Recovered Through a Bacterial Process

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A sustainable bacteria‐based lithium‐ion battery cathode recycling method is optimized using engineering biology. The resulting biomineralized manganese carbonate species is found to be easily converted into an electrode material, via simple calcination.

Modulation of riboflavin biosynthesis and utilization in mycobacteria

Microbiology Spectrum
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is the precursor of the flavin coenzymes, FAD and FMN, which play a central role in cellular redox metabolism. While humans must obtain riboflavin from dietary sources, certain microbes, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb),

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Biallelic SLC12A2 Variant Associated With Kilquist Syndrome (OMIM #619080)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the case of a child with multiple congenital anomalies, severe hypotonia, and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Functional bioenergetic assessments showed no significant mitochondrial respiratory defects, and riboflavin (Rf) status evaluation excluded a deficiency in Rf transporters as a cause of hearing loss ...

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.

Effects of Dietary Protein Level on Growth Performance, Serum Biochemistry, Intestinal Morphology, and Intestinal Microbiota in Ningxiang Finishing Pigs

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A low‐protein (LP) diet maintained growth performance while enhancing colonic microbiota composition and nitrogen utilization in Ningxiang finishing pigs. These findings enhance our understanding of protein nutrition in indigenous fat‐type pig breeds and provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing dietary formulations in Ningxiang pigs.

Overview of Encapsulated Lysine and Methionine and Their Impacts on Transition Cow Performance and Health

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The transition period in dairy cows, spanning 3 weeks before and after calving, is a critical phase characterized by increased nutrient demands, reduced dry matter intake (DMI), and elevated risk of metabolic disorders such as negative nutrient balance (NNB), lipolysis, proteolysis, and oxidative stress.
