The metabolic effects of metformin vary somewhat across gram-negative bacteria: (1) in E coli metformin inhibits respiratory chain complex I, impairing the function of the inner membrane vitamin B12 transporter (BtuCD), so vitamin B12 entry is blocked at the inner membrane, causing vitamin B12 to accumulate in the periplasm
Microbial fermentation yields adenosylcobalamin, which is then converted to cyanocobalamin by the addition of potassium cyanide or thiocyanate in the presence of sodium nitrite and heat
