Intracellular thiamine decomposing abilities of 52 strains of yeast-like fungi belonging to Torulaspora, Torulopsis, Torula, Cryptococcus, Rhodotorula and Trichosporon were investigated. 0.2g of wet cells from 16 strains could decompose over 50 per cent of 3 μg thiamine under a given experimental condition. Evidence was obtained to suggest that thiamine decomposing enzyme, "thiaminase" is widely distributed in the yeast-like fungi.

Cell free preparation obtained from M. pyogenes by shaking its aqueous suspension with glass powder under the condition of a low temperature and vacuum was able to hydrolyze thiamine to its moieties. That the factor in the preparation responsible for the thiamine decomposition is attributable to an enzyme "thiaminase II" is shown by the following facts : (a) this factor was not thermostable, had optimum pH and temperature for its action and was precipitated acetone ; (b) the action of the preparation was not accerelated by aniline or pyridine and was impeded from heavy metals. The Michaelis constant of the enzyme was calculated by the author as (2.4±0.25)×10^<-5> M/l at 30℃ and pH6.5.

Spontaneous excretion of biotin was found to be increased in patients with liver diseases and diabetes mellitus, while it was found to be decreased in patients with gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension, chronic nephritis, and those who were treated with aureomycin. Increase in urinary excretion following intramuscular administration of biotin was greater in patients with liver diseases, especially acute hepatitis, and in diabetes mellitus. In patients with hypertension, chronic nephritis, and those who were treated with aureomycin, increase in urinary biotin excretion was less than normal. This data indicates that there may be disturbances in biotin utilization in liver diseases and diabetes mellitus, while biotin deficiency seems to exist in patients treated with aureomycin. Signigicant correlation was fond between the fasting blood sugar level and the increase of urinary excretion after biotin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus. Normalization of biotin metabolism was observed after insulin treatment.

1) The total vitamin B_<12> concentration of forty normal sera was found to vary from 160 to 812 μμg/ml with a mean of 415 μμg/ml. The range of the free form of vitamin B_<12> in these sera was from 0 to 83 μμg/ml. 2) By the paper electrophoretic examination of the human sera it was clarified that the bound form of vitamin B_<12> is bound by α-globulin especially by α_2-globulin and the free form by β-globulin. 3) When excess vitamin B_<12> was added to the normal sera in vitro and unbound vitamin was dialysed off, the bound vitamin was found mainly in α-and β-globulins. The binding ability of α-globulin appears to be stronger and larger than that of β-globulin. In the saturated normal sera with vitamin B_<12> the amount of the vitamin in α-globulin is 1.5-1.7 mμg/ml and that in β-globulin is 0.7-1.1 mμg/ml. 4) The significance of the vitamin B_<12>-binding proteins in the serum and its relation to the liver functions were discussed.

Varying amounts (equivalent to 19.4-308mg vitamin A-alcohol) of synthetic vitamin A-acetate and-palmitate dissolved in vegetable oils were ingested and the amounts of the vitamin excreted in feces were estimated. The amounts ingested minus those excreted in feces were assumed to be the amounts absorbed from the intestine. It was found that about 90 per cent of the vitamin ingested was always absorbed from human intestine regardless of the amounts ingested. The reason for the difference of the results from those obtained in the previous experiment was discussed.

Absorption experiment of β-carotene was performed in a Japanese female adult, using cooked carrot alone or that supplemented with β-carotene solution. The absorption of β-carotene of the combined diet was found to be the sum of the absorption of each component, i.e., the absorption for cooked carrot was 46 per cent and that for carotene solution 93 per cent.

The Ca-content of bone and liver of artificially induced rachitic animals is increased obviusly by an injection of vitamin D_2. Their P-content is observed also to increase, though not so pronounoedly as in the case of Ca. On the contrary, the Na- and K-contents of liver decrease markedly in the case of malnourished rachitic animals. Those of bone show also a decreasing tendency. The contents of Fe and Cu increase in the bone on injection of vitamin D_2,but decrease in the liver, both approaching the corresponding values in the bone and liver of the control animals.

By vitamin D injection to artificially induced rachitic animals, they recover from rickets and the amounts of Ca, P, Fe and Cu in kidney decrease obviously. On the contrary, K and Na contents increase in the case of malnourished rachitic animals. The amounts of Ca, P, Fe and Cu in small intestine of induced rachitic animals are observed to increase by an injection of vitamin D, but K and Na contents decrease.

On 90 boys at the age of from 8 to 13 years, a signifficant correlation was found between total riboflavin content in blood and the severity in ariboflavinosis, which was expressed numerically by marks according to the severity of such three cardinal signs of ariboflavinosis as angular stomatitis, cheilosis and lingual changes. Concerning the esterified forms of riboflavin in the blood of these children, conversion of FMN into FAD was found to be disturbed in the mild cases of ariboflavinosis, while, in the severe cases, a disturbance in conversion of free riboflavin into FMN was found simultaneously with the disturbed FMN→FAD conversion.

An enriched soy, in which 75mg of thiamine, 75mg of riboflavin and 750mg of niacinamide were added per 2 litres, was introduced into a farm-village where ariboflavinosis was found endemically among the inhabitants. Observations on its effect were made from February to October 1956. By the use of the enriched soy, it was supposed that the daily intake of riboflavin was increased from 0.4mg to 1.0mg. Both ariboflavinotic signs and urinary outout of riboflavin were monthly examined on 10 boys with use of the enriched soy and on 20 boys of the control, and the blood riboflavin level was estimated on October 1956. As a consequence of the use of the enriched soy, an improvent of ariboflavinotic signs, an increase in the urinary output of riboflavin and an increase in the esterified vitamin in blood were observed.

O. Bessey (J. Biol. Chem. 195,453,1952) inactivated thiamine in its alkaline solution with benzenesulfonyl chloride for the purpose of estimating thiamine in biological materials. We isolated 4.3g crystals of mp. 97° after standing the reaction mixture of 10g thiamine-hydrochloride in 40cc of 30% NaOH-solution with 10.5g benzenesulfonyl chloride for a night. After its recrystallization from acetone or alcohol, prisms of mp. 113-114°(I) were obtained and they lost 2 moles of crystalline water on drying in vacuum. The analysis shows its empirical formula (anbydrous) as C_<12>H_<16>ON_4S and the substance can not be carried back to thiamine by cysteine treatment or any other means. (I) is easily hydrolysed by HCl into 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethyl-pyrimidine (II) and oily substances of bp_4 41〜42° (III)and bp_4 121〜125°. (III) agrees with C_5H_6OS. (I) is oxidized its sulfoxide (IV) by hydrogen peroxide in 50% acetic acid. We tentatively designate (I) as thiamine-anhydride ; its chemical structure and the degradation schema by HCl will be shown as follows

Riboflavin content in various alcoholic drinks was not so high as expected. The values obtained by lumiflavin method were as follows : Sake 1.5-9,beer 13-15,unclarified sake 88,and whisky zero, respectively expressed in μg per 100ml. Thus the riboflavin content in untreated drinks is much higher than that of treated ones.
