ribF encodes a bifunctional riboflavin kinase/FMN adenylyltransferase that catalyzes the sequential conversion of riboflavin into FMN and FAD. Because ribF is essential for Escherichia coli viability, its complete deletion is lethal; therefore, attenuation strategies such as the His115Leu (T203D) mutation, which reduces flavin conversion, are required to favor riboflavin accumulation [345].
