Abstract:
A process for the production of vitamin B.sub.6 from 1-deoxy-D-threo-pentulose (DTP) and 4-hydroxy-L-threonine (HT) comprising: (a) adding DTP and HT to an essentially cell-free enzyme system prepared from cells of a microorganism which produce vitamin B.sub.6 from DTP and HT; (b) adding nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP.sup.+), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD.sup.+) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the enzyme system to form an enzyme reaction system; and (c) initiating an enzyme reaction in the enzyme reaction system to produce vitamin B.sub.6.
