Abstract

Addition to media of yeast extract, a vitamin mixture containing vitamin B12, biotin, pyridoxamine, and p-aminobenzoic acid, or vitamin B12 alone enhanced formation of ethanol but decreased lactate production in the fermentation of cellulose by Clostridium thermocellum I-1-B. A similar effect was not observed with C. thermocellum ATCC 27405 and JW20.
