The nutritional equivalence of pantothenate and p-aminobenzoate for the growth of Bacterium linens and the reversal of growth inhibition by sulfanilamide and salicylate has indicated a biochemical relationship between pantothenate and p-aminobenzoate (Purko et al., 1953). Recently, Pomper (1952) observed that the pantothenate, as well as the methionine, histidine, and adenine requirements of a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, could be replaced by high p-aminobenzoate concentrations and also has
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
