It was observed that strains of Sarcina having the activity of forming pyridoxine-α-glucoside, when grown in the medium containing sucrose as a carbon source and riboflavin, produced a remarkable amount of riboflavin-α-glucoside in the culture filtrate. Moreover, the production of pyridoxine glycoside-like compounds was found in partially purified enzyme preparations from Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Aspergillus niger and Mucor javanicus, and in crystalline β-galactosidase from Escherichia coli having the activity of forming riboflavin-glycosides.
