Riboflavin is the essential vitamin for human nutrition and animal feeding being the precursor of two coenzymes: riboflavin-5'-phosphate (flavin mononucleotide, FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). The flavin coenzymes are involved in a wide range of biochemical processes, particularly in mitochondrial electron transport, photosynthesis, fatty acid oxidation, metabolism of vitamins, B6, B9 (folates) and B12. The aim of this work was optimization of fed-batch fermentation conditions for maximal accumulation of riboflavin by Candida famata AF-4/2xSEF1/IMH3/RIB1/RIB7 (RF-3) riboflavin overproducer (Dmytruk et al., 2011).
