Improved riboflavin production

摘要

The present invention is directed to a recombinant bacterium comprising a bacterium which has been transformed by three vectors, two of them each comprising a DNA sequence coding for the riboflavin synthesizing enzymatic activities of Bacillus subtilis or a DNA sequence which is substantially homologous and one or more transcription elements and a third vector comprising a DNA sequence coding for the ribA gene product of Bacillus subtilis or a DNA sequence which is substantially homologous and optionally further comprising a transcription element whereby one or a plurality of copies of each of these vectors has/have been integrated at three different sites within its chromosome; and a process for the production of riboflavin by such a recombinant bacterium.
