✦ Synopsis

The level of riboflavin synthetase in growing cultures of Bacillus subtilis is controlled by repression. The enzyme level is derepressed in flavinogenie mutants of the microorganism. Riboflavin-deficient mutants accumulating 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine are devoid of riboflavin synthetase.

## Abstract Riboflavin uptake and membrane‐associated riboflavin‐binding activity have been investigated in Bacillus subtilis. The uptake and binding activity of the vitamin were found to be repressed coordinately by riboflavin present in the growth medium. The uptake of riboflavin has been shown t
