SINCE the discovery that riboflavin is produced by Eremothecium ashbyii and Ashbya gossypii 1, a great number of bacteria and fungi have been found capable of producing this and other closely related substances2. Among the Actinomycetales only a few species of Mycobacterium 3 have been reported capable of producing riboflavin, while no true Actinomycete has ever been found to possess such a capacity.
