Synthesis of Vitamin B1 by Microbes. 1

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is a watersoluble vitamin. It consists out of a pyrimidineand a thiazol ring, which are synthesized independently and linked afterwards.Vitamin B1 is de novo produced by many plants and microorganisms. Humans and animals have to take it up by nutrition. They are only able to do the phosphorylation reaction of the thiamin molecule. Thiamin is found free and as mono-, diand triphosphat...

Cxxix. Synthesis of Vitamin B1 by Intestinal Bacteria of the Rat

MANY types of micro-organisms have been tested by various workers for their ability to synthesize "vitamin B" (=complex). In such studies the organisms were grown in various nutrient media and the " vitamin B " was detected by its growth-promoting action or by curative tests on experimental animals such as the rat, the mouse or the pigeon. Thus "vitamin B " has been reported to have been produc...

Intestinal Flora and Vitamin B1

Reassessing the manipulation of protein synthesis by rumen microbes.

Protein synthesis by rumen microbes plays an important role in ruminant nutrition. Microbial proteins that are not recycled flow out of the rumen and account for more than 50% of the total proteins entering the intestines. Determination of microbial nitrogen in digesta is based on the isolation of a representative sample of rumen microbes and on the use of specific markers (purine bases, RNA, 1...
