Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This thesis was undertaken in order to gain a more complete understanding of the penetration of the sulfur metabolic pathways by selenium. Specifically, an attempt was made to determine if selenium could replace sulfur in biotin synthesized by Phycomyces blakesleeanus. Although selenium has been found to replace sulfur in many biologically active compounds, it has never been demonstrated in a naturally synthesized coenzyme or cyclic structure such as that found in biotin.</p>
