The growth of strains of Bacillus thiaminolyticus was found to be inhibited by many other bacteria in glucose‐containing media. The properties of the substances responsible for the inhibition were such as to suggest that they could be carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids were found to produce a similar inhibition of B. thiaminolyticus and another thiaminase type I‐producing organism, Clostridium sporogenes .
