Decreased riboflavin formation in mutants of Aerobacter (Enterobacter) aerogenes deficient in the butanediol pathway.
Riboflavin concentration increased linearly for more than 60 h in wild type cultures, whereas in three mutants deficient in the formation of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol the production ceased at the end of exponential growth.
