Abstract

A reversal of aureomycin action by folic acid and, to a lesser extent, vitamin B12 has been observed by us with several micro-organisms. Since aureomycin acts primarily on rapidly growing organisms and since the mediation of folic acid and vitamin B12 in nucleic acid synthesis is known, it was of interest to ascertain the relationship in this respect between these vitamins and the antibiotic.
