FUNCTION 



the growth of A. suboxydans, the response being greater than that 

 produced by an equivalent amount of pantothenic acid.^^ By incu- 

 bating ^-alanine or pantothenic acid with glutamic acid in presence of 

 resting cells, a product was obtained with up to looo times the activity 

 of j8-alanine or pantothenic acid on yeast, but this result could not 

 always be obtained, the product being sometimes quite inactive. A 

 conjugate of pantothenic acid isolated from pork heart was twice as 

 active as pantothenic acid on A. suboxydans but appeared to differ 

 from coenzyme A.^^
