Use of compounds involved in biosynthesis of nucleic acids to increase yield of bacterial cultures

摘要

Microbial starter cultures. More specifically, a method for preparing a microbial starter culture wherein the microorganism is inoculated in a culture medium comprising at least one yield enhancing agent selected from the group consisting of a purine base, a pyrimidine base, a nucleoside and a nucleotide. Such microbial starter cultures are useful in the manufacturing of food, feed and pharmaceutical products.
