Abstract


Ribotlavin production with Eremotheciunt ashbyii was investigated with molasses as the carbon source. Pretreatment of molasses by steam, chemical and active carbon methods improved yield, while ion exchange and inversion were inhibitory. Of the low-grade nitrogen sources, lentil, oil seed cake and beef washings favoured flavinogenesis.
