Among 21 water-soluble vitamins and related substances, thiamine, pyridoxine, p-aminobenzoic acid, inositol and hesperidin had little effect on the inactivation of phage J1 by 3×10^<-4> M ascorbic acid. Pantothenic acid and rutin inhibited the inactivation. Choline and carnitine enhanced the inactivation at 1×10^<-4> M, but failed to enhance it at the higher concentrations. Nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, folic acid, anthranilic acid, biotin and vitamin U enhanced the inactivation at high concentrations. Orotic acid, cyanocobalamin and FAD enhanced the inactivation at 1×10^<-5> M and the higher concentrations. Riboflavin and FMN enhanced the inactivation at 3×10^<-7> M and the higher concentrations. Vitamin K_5 enhanced the inactivation at 3×10^<-8> M and the higher concentrations.
