Abstract
Thioctic acid labeled with sulfur-35 has been prepared and its metabolism by algae has been studied. It is converted by the algae into a number of forms, all of which upon hydrolysis will yield either the disulfide or its sulfoxide. One of these constituted the major portion of the labeled material in the chloroplasts. Aerobic metabolism for some minutes is required to produce this form. Preliminary studies of the chemical nature of this form suggest it to be esterified on the carboxyl group with a moiety of very high lipid solubility.
