Unlike its predecessors B. subtilis rosR and 41, riboflavin producing B. subtilis 24 strain does not utilize pentose and gluconate and poorly assimilates glucose. Simultaneous addition of glutamic and shikimic acid restored its capacity to grow and produce riboflavin in medium with pentose and gluconate. This strain lacks the activity of transketolase, the key enzyme of the pentose phosphate cycle, and possesses normal ribulose-5-phosphate-epimerase and glucose phosphate isomerase activities. Like enterobacteria, B. subtilis has two different transport systems for glucose and mannose. The data are discussed from the viewpoint of increasing riboflavin production by transketolase mutants. Probable consequences of cell wall and cytoplasmatic membrane damage in B. subtilis with this mutation are discussed. |
