Utilization of d-Biotinol by Microorganisms, the Rat and Human.

Abstract
D-Biotinol does not replace d-biotin in the nutrition of L. arabinosus, L. casei, or S. cerevisiae but is fully as effectiveas d-ibiotin in curing egg white-induced bio tin deficiency in the rat. Comparison of urinary excretions of biotin after oral or intramuscular administration of biotin and biotinol shows the latter to be converted to biotin efficiently by both rat and human.
