Abstract
IT was shown by paper chromatography that a cobalamin-producing strain of B. megaterium (N.C.I.B. No. 8508) gave a comparatively large amount of a new metabolite. This was a carbohydrate with RG 0.28 in butanol-water at 30°, reducing ammoniacal silver nitrate and giving a brown colour with aniline phthalate.
