Lactobacillus plantarum requires biotin for growth. We show that in the presence of high levels of the biotin biosynthetic precursor, dethiobiotin, L. plantarum synthesizes biotin and grows in medium with dethiobiotin but without biotin. Lactobacillus casei also grew under similar conditions.
植物乳杆菌生长需要生物素。我们发现,在存在高水平生物素生物合成前体——脱硫生物素的情况下,植物乳杆菌能够合成生物素,并在含有脱硫生物素但不含生物素的培养基中生长。干酪乳杆菌在类似条件下也能生长。
