PROCESS FOR PRODUCING NICOTINIC ACID MONONUCLEOTIDE

摘要

Nicotinic acid mononucleotide is produced in significant amounts by fermentation by a process which comprises culturing a suitable microorganism belonging to the genus Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Arthrobacter or Micrococcus under aerobic conditions in an aqueous nutrient medium containing nicotinic acid or nicotinamide. Yields of greater than 2 mg./ml. are obtained in some cases.
