Abstract

To improve the microbial production of vitamin B12, we applied a hollow-fiber module to cultivation of the vitamin producers. By the removal of growth inhibitors, very high concentrations of cells and vitamin B12 were obtained comparing to the batch culture. We obtained 227 g dry cells/l and 52 mg vitamin B12/l with Propionibacterium shermanii and 33.4 g dry cell/l and 92.5 mg vitamin B12/l with Butyribacterium methylotrophicum by this cultivation.
