Title High-Level folate production in fermented foods by the B12 producer Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1112.
Journal Appl Environ Microbiol
Abstract We observed that Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1112 produces B(12) and folate. However, the folate/B(12) mass ratio found was far below that desired for human consumption ( approximately 170:1). We used metabolic engineering applying genetic and physiological approaches to improve this ratio and developed a generic and natural process that significantly increases folate production.
