Probiotic bacteria

Explanation:

Probiotic bacteria along with bacteria found in human gut, such as Lactobacillus do de novo synthesis and supply vitamins to human body In humans, members of the gut microbiota are able to synthesize vitamin K and most of the water-soluble B vitamins, such as folates, riboflavin and thiamine Probiotic bacteria positively impact the immune system and the composition and functioning of the gut microbiota Production of vitamins has resulted in many healthy benefits to the host Riboflavin is synthesized by many bacteria and its biosynthetic pathway has been studied extensively in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli Riboflavin (vitamin B2) plays an essential role in cellular metabolism because it is the precursor of the coenzymes flavin (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), both of which act as hydrogen carriers in biological redox reaction
