Kenneth A. Sund 1 and Henry N. Little 1

1 Department of Chemistry, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The production of riboflavin by Eremothecium ashbyii is appreciably reduced by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole at concentrations of inhibitor which do not inhibit growth. Corn and pea leaf tissues which are albinistic as a consequence of treatment with this compound have a greatly lowered riboflavin content.
