SCREENING AND SPONTANEOUS MUTATION OF PICKLE-DERIVED LACTOBACILLUS PLANTARUM WITH OVERPRODUCTION OF RIBOFLAVIN, RELATED MECHANISM, AND FOOD APPLICATION

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, plays an important role in human cell metabolism and participates in various redox reactions and in energy utilization.In this study, 90 riboflavin-producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were screened out from pickle juices.The yields of riboflavin in these LAB were about 0.096−0.700 mg/L, and one strain, L
