โฆ Synopsis
A methanol-utilizing bacterium isolated from soil was studied for ability to produce vitamin B 12. The isolated strain XF is gram-variable, pink-pigmented and rod-shaDed. Effects of growth conditions on vitamin B 12 productivity were examined. The maximal yield of vitamin B 12 was 280 pg/l in shaked flasks and 236 pg/l in fermentation jars.

## SUWtRY. A fed-batch culture of methanol-utilizing microorganism (Corynebacterim sp. XG), a vitamin B 12 producer, was carried out with constant feed of substrate. Experimental results agreed with the theorical model proposed in the literature. Using this feeding system, the final biomass and vi
