The vitamin B12 concentration of the dried cells of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae was determined byboth microbiological method with Lactobacillus delbrueckeii ATCC7830 and chemiluminescencemethod with intrinsic factor. The Aphanizomenon cells contained 616.3 ± 30.3 g (n = 4) of vitaminB12 per 100 g of the dried cells by the microbiological method. The values determined with thechemiluminescence method, however, were only about 5.3% of the values determined by themicrobiological method. A corrinoid-compound was purified from the dried cells and characterized.The purified corrinoid-compound was identified as pseudovitamin B12 (an inactive corrinoid-compoundfor humans) by silica gel 60 TLC, C18 reversed-phase HPLC, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and1H NMR spectroscopy. The results suggest that the Aphanizomenon cells are not suitable for use asa vitamin B12 source, especially in vegans.
