Abstract:
1. A process for improving or increasing the production of a target fermentation product by a microorganism of the genus Bacillus , wherein the target fermentation product is selected from the group consisting of riboflavin, biotin, thiamin, pantothenate and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), wherein said microorganism is incubated in a aqueous medium comprising a carbon source, and wherein the target fermentation product is isolated as the fermentation product, and wherein said microorganism is genetically altered by introducing downstream of a gene involved in the biosynthetic pathway of said target fermentation product a polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polynucleotide comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; and (b) a polynucleotide which has at least 95% sequence identity to the polynucleotide of SEQ ID NO:2 and has mRNA-stabilizing activity.
