Abstract

A comparison was made of the ability of several commercially significant yeast species to accumulate the vitamin thiamine. Saccharomyces cerevisiae accumulated two to four times as much thiamine as Candida tropicalis, Kluyveromyces fragilis, or Kluyveromyces lactis. Thiamine accumulation by yeasts in shaker flasks was two to three times greater than in a small fermentor.
