The availability to the chick of pantothenic acid in foods.

چکیده
1. The content of total pantothenic acid (PaA) in two foodstuffs of microbial origin was measured by standard microbiological and chick biological assays. 2. Substantially and consistently higher values were found by the chick assay than by the microbiological determination, indicating that PaA-containing compounds were present that were not utilized by the test micro-organisms but were available for chicks. Attempts to identify these compounds did not explain the source of excess PaA activity for the chick. 3. It is suggested that forms for PaA that are undetected by standard methods of microbiological assay differ from one food to another and require different treatments to make the vitamin available to the assay organism.

The pantothenic acid content of coenzyme A by chick assay.
Lipmann, Kaplan, Novelli, Tuttle, and Guirard (1) reported that, whereas concentrates of the coenzyme required for acetylation (coenzyme A) showed no pantothenic acid activity by the ordinary microbiological assay, considerable amounts of p-alanine were found after acid hydrolysis. From this early observation, it was suspected that the coenzyme might contain combined pantothenic acid which was ...

متن کاملThe Liberation of Pantothenic Acid from Coenzyme
It was reported previously that coenzyme A contained pantothenic acid bound in such a manner as to make it unavailable in microbiological tests (1). A liberation of p;alanine on acid hydrolysis indicated early the presence of pantothenic acid, which was confirmed by chick assay (2). While the chick assay for pantothenic acid and the p-alanine assay by the yeast growth test yielded equivalent am...
