The formation of sulfide from sulfate has been discussed from the thermodynamic principles. No mechanism of the reaction has been presented. From the stoichiometric and Nernst equations for the conversion of sulfate into sulfide, it was concluded that the formation of sulfide from sulfate can take place more readily if pH of a medium is low. The difficulty of this conversion increases with increasing pH. As pH of a medium increases, the degree of dissociation of H₂S into S= increases and this, in turn, renders the chance of precipitation of sulfide as FeS easier. Higher the pH of a soil or medium, greater is the S= concentration. The concentration of ferrous ion required to remove dissolved sulfide in a medium by forming insoluble FeS decreases with increasing pH. From the theory it was pointed out that an application of lime and iron rich foreign substances to a soil may be effective in causing the removal of dissolved sulfide from solution.

Distribution of $P^{32}$ in a pot-grown plant of the radish was studied by means of fertilization with phospbate labeled with $P^{32}$ followed by autoradiography of the dried parts. (1) An accumulation of $P^{32}$ occurs in the growth point, the root of hair, the younger leaves and the top of leaves in the radish similary other plants. (2) In the yellow leaves of the radish it was counted too weak by monitor. (3) $P^{32}$ absorbed by the root in radish was transported through the xylem of the radishtissue.

The manufacture of riboflavine fortified Dwen-Jang has been tried with an exceedingly riboflavine productive Aspergillus oryzae #612 mutant which has been developed by the authors. Both the rice and barley koji of this mutant and Aspergillus sojae have been prepared. Their riboflavine production, saccharifying and protease activities have begin compared The riboflavine fortified Dwen-Jang has been manufactured using the barley koji of riboflavine productive mutant. Their riboflavine content and qualities have been studied comparing with an ordinary Dwen-Jang which has been prepared with the barley kojo of A. sojae strain. The following results have been obtained. (1) The baley koji was superior in riboflavine production and protease activity, inferior in saccharifying ability than rice koji both with A. oryzae #612 and A. sojae. (2) In barley koji, the mutant, A. oryzae #612, produces 1.5 times riboflavine than A. sojae and shows stronger saccharifying and protease activities than the latter. (3) The riboflavine fortified Dwen-Jaug manufactured contained $5.2{\gamma}/g$ of riboflavine, about 1.5 times that of A. sojae. The higher contents of free sugar and free amjno nitrogen have been observed than the ordinary Dwen-Jang manufactured with A. sojae.

The daily variation in the total quantity of flavin compounds (FAD, FMN, FR) in greenbean during its germination were measured by Yagi's methods. The results obtained were as follow. 1. The total quantity of flavin compounds of the greenbean sprouts was increased with growth of sprouts until the 8th days. After this period its contents were decreased slightly. 2. The flavin compounds of greenbean sprouts were comfirmed to be synthesized as free riboflavin during its germination. 3. FAD was the major pat of total flavin compounds in cotyledon but there was significant variation in the contents of FAD, FMN and FR in hypocotyl.

It has been ascertained that S-(1, 2-dichlorovinyl) L-cysteine (DCVC) is probably the toxic component in the trichloro-ethylene extracted soybean oil meal on the bovine. For the study of the metabolites of DCVC, the components with radioactive $S^{35}$-in the urine of the calf, to which $S^{35}$-DCVC was administrated, were separated using of cellulose powder with propanol-water (70:30 V/V) which is easily removable by evaporation. As the results followings were obtained: Peak 1, which shows fractions containing single $S^{35}$-radioactive components, whose Rf is 0.815 Peak 2, which shows fractions containing jingle $S^{35}$-radioactive component, whose Rf is 0.447 Peak 3, which shows fractions containing both $S^{35}$-radioactive components whose Rfs are 0.090 and 0.171 Peak 4, which shows fractions containing single $S^{35}$-radioactive component, whose Rf is 0.142. Peak 5, which shows fractions containing single $S^{35}$-radioactive component, whose Rf is 0.084. Besides these, two of small peak were obtained. Although, the resolving power of the cellulose powder column is not sufficient, it is applicable for the study of the components of metabolytes of DCVC conveniently with the rest of removable solvent easily. Also the components with radioactive $S^{35}$ in the feces of the calf were separated using citrate buffer gradient system of Moore and stein. As the results; three $S^{35}$-radioactive components were separated.

The amino acid analysis of ground rice and the crude protein isolated from rice were performed by the most recent method of Moore, Spackman and Stein, using Amberlite IR-120. The effect of carbohydrates on the hydrolysis of rice was found to be definite in losing several amino acids nevertheless Dustin's claim that large excess of hydrolyzing acid reduces the losses of amino acid. Consequantly the removal carbohydrates as much as possible is considered to facilitate the amino acid determination. The amino acid composition of the crude rotein of rice was very similar to that previously found by other investigators.

The decomposition of malathion in dust for mulations prepared from four Korean tales as carriers during storage period has been studied. Amberlite CG-120, a cation exchange resin . which has higher cation exchange capacity than tales, was also used as a carrier in hope of finding out the effect of nagative charge upon the decomposition of malathion. Besides the original talc powders obtained directly from the mines, the hydrogen ion saturated forms were also used as carriers for comparisonal study. The saturated ions for the resin were hydrogen, sodium and magnesium. As the physical properties of the tales, colloid content, water adsorption capacity, PH, specific surface, phosphate fixing capacity and exchangeable canons were determined, and these properties were correlated with the amount of the decomposition. Following results were obtained from the experiment. 1. The malathion in the talc in dust was found to decompose around 10-15% ofthe total withina month. About 50% of the decom position that took place after a month was found to occur within a week. 2. The resin which has higher cation exchange capacity than the tales was highly effective in the decomposition of malathion compared with the tales. 3. In every case the saturation of the exchange complexes with hydrogen ion greatly accelerated the decomposition of malathion. 4. The most highly correlated physical properties with the decomposition were colloid content and specific surface of the tales. 5. The water adsorption and phosphate fixing capacities of the tales were found not to correlate with the amount of malathion decomposed. From the experimental results it was concluded that the active negative spots on the colloidal tales or the resin attract the electropositive phosphorus atom in a malathion molecule thereby inducing the decomposition easier. The presence of hydrogen ion nearby might cause a catalytic effect in the decomposition of malathion.
