The growth of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis was studied when thiamine in the vitamin B_5 assay basal medium, was replaced by various thiamine-related compounds. The results were as follows ; 1) No difference was found in the growth in the medium containing thiamine diphosphate, thiamine palmitate, thiamine isovalerate, thiamine propyldisulfide, thiamine disulfide, or the mixture of 2-methyl-4-amino-5-aminomethylpyrimidine and 4-methyl-5(β-hydroxyethyl) thiazole, as compared with thiamine respectively. But the yeast growth in the medium containing O, S-dicarbethoxythiamine was lower than that in the medium containing thiamine, while, in the medium which contained ethylthiamine or chlorothiamine instead of thiamine, the state of the growth showed a high blank. 2) Ethylthiamine or chlorothiamine had no effect on the growth of thiamine-requiring Lactobacillus viridescens.
