Abstract:
:To isolate thiamine excretors and (or) overproducers, 188 cultures belonging to nine yeast and three fungal genera were screened. Nine excreted thiamine as determined by both the presence of cross-feeding zones on a thiamine-free agar medium seeded with a thiamine-requiring yeast strain and by the direct detection of excreted thiamine on agar plates. Several of these cultures produced several-fold more intracellular thiamine than the general culture population. Thiamine-requiring strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. uvarum (carlsbergensis) were identified and were tentatively assigned to 10 complementation groups.
