Incubation of the microorganism was performed on original Vitamin Biotin Testbouillon and laboratory prepared liquid culture medias. The amount of "real" biotin in molasses is low. The results depend upon the sample and volume of molasses solutions. Biotin contents obtained on both liquid media are close. %K biotin %K molasses %K Lactobacillus plantarum' %K biotin determination %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/1450-7188/2005/1450-71880536215L.pdf
