Abstract
IN continuation of earlier published investigations1 on the significance of vitamin B1 (aneurin, thiamin) and biotin (vitamin H) for the growth of different fungi, the need for growth substances of a number of Ascomycetes has been more closely studied. Leaving aside yeast-fungi, only relatively few of these have been more thoroughly examined in this respect2.
