Abstract
The process of biosynthesis of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-2,4-cyclodiphosphate in various coryneform bacteria was studied. The cells of microorganisms cultures studied by 31P-NMR revealed a large amount (8) signals of phosphorus compounds. Under conditions of oxidative stress induced by benzilviologen, the number of signals is reduced to three and a new signal is detected attributable to 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-2,4-cyclodiphosphate (MEC). The most promising producer is determined.
