The synthesis and destruction of vitamin B-1, by Phycomyces

An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

In an earlier communication (1) data relative to the in vivo synthesis of vitamin B1, by the isolated pea root have been presented. For a fuller understanding of the physiological economy of the vitamin, some insight also into the modes of disappearance of the substance is indispensable. The accumulated evidence now permits us to present a picture both of in vivo synthesis of the vitamin by Phycomyces Blakesleeanus and of a mechanism by which the vitamin molecule is broken down by the latter organism.
