Notes:
The % RNV values and available lysine of corn meal were decreased (P〈0.05) by fermentation with B. megaterium ATCC 13639 and E. aerogenes but available methionine and tryptophan were significantly increased. Vitamin B12 production by B. megaterium in corn meal was maximal after 5 days of fermentation at pH 6.0 and 30°C whereas the yield of riboflavin by E. aerogenes was the highest after 5 days of fermentation at pH 8.0 at 30°C. There were no differences (P〉0.05) among the yields of riboflavin by B. megaterium in fermented corn meal at different pH and temperatures. Vitamin B12 and riboflavin increased most rapidly during the first day of fermentation and continued to increase until the 5th day.
