Phycomyces blakeslekanus

The species most commonly employed for thiamine determination are some Lactobacilli such as L.fermentum and L. viridescens (ATCC 12706). The latter is the microorganism most widely used to measure thiamine concentrations. It requires the intact thiamine molecule for growth. Other organisms such as Phycomyces blakeslekanus, Kloeckera brevis (ATCC 9774), Ochromonas danica and Neurospora crassa are available, but they are less useful.
