[Isolation of cobalt-resistant strains of propionic acid bacteria, potent producers of vitamin B12].
A method of adaptation to cobalt nitrate at high concentrations allowed us to isolate 46 strains of propionic acid bacteria Propionibacterium acidipropionici, resistant to excessive amounts of Co2+ in the medium. Studies of these strains revealed cultures that were most potent in synthesizing vitamin B12. The yield of vitamin B12 was increased 3 times, compared to parent strains.
