The possibility to use the multivitamin complex «Complevit» as a source of calcium pantothenate by auxotrophic strain Acinetobacter sp. IMV B-7005 – the producer of microbial exopolysaccharide ethapolan was shown. The cultivation conditions for the producer were established to provide the synthesis of 6.6-6.7 g/l of the desired product in the medium with high (4-5 %) content of sunflower oil – cheap and available substrate for microbial technologies.
