Abstrakt: Feeding of [1‐13C]glucose, [U‐13C6]glucose, [3‐13C]alanine and [1‐13C]acetate to Sphingobacterium multivorumshowed that this bacterium utilizes the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for the biosynthesis of menaquinone‐7 and zeaxanthin, a carotenoid of industrial importance. Differential incorporation of the labeled precursors gave some insight into the preferred carbon sources involved in isoprenoid biosynthesis.
