Abstract
Increasing amounts of urea produced a progressive diminution in the acid production of Lactobacillus casei in the presence of known amts. of riboflavin. The entire inhibiting effect of urine of low riboflavin content on the microbiological assay method of Snell and Strong is due to the urea content of the urine. Methods for correction of the errors produced by urea are presented.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
