A fermentation method for increasing the content of vitamin b12
By adding 5-aminolevulinic acid and controlling the total sugar content during the vitamin B12 fermentation process, the fermentation conditions were optimized, solving the problems of long fermentation cycle and low production level. This resulted in a shorter fermentation cycle and improved potency, making it suitable for industrial production.

AI Technical Summary
Existing vitamin B12 fermentation processes suffer from long fermentation cycles and low production levels, and fail to improve the potency of fermentation products through effective regulation of metabolic pathways.
During fermentation, a specific precursor, 5-aminolevulinic acid, is added, and the total sugar content is controlled at 1.0-7.0 g/100 ml. Fermentation conditions such as temperature, pressure, air flow rate, and stirring speed are optimized to shorten the fermentation cycle and enhance the metabolic pathway of vitamin B12.
It effectively shortened the fermentation cycle by 5.95%, increased the fermentation potency by 9.74%, met the needs of industrial production, and reduced production costs.
