Abstract

In a recent work it has been shown that the bosonic strings could be embedded into a special class of N=1N=1 fermionic strings. We argue that the superpartners of any physical state in the spectrum of this fermionic string is non-physical. So, there is no supersymmetry in the space of physical states and the embedding is, in this sense, ``trivial''. We here propose two different constructions as possible candidates of non-trivial embeddings of the non-critical bosonic strings into some special class of N=1N=1 fermionic strings of which one is the non-critical NSR string. The BRST charge of the N=1N=1 fermionic strings in both cases decompose as QN=1=QB+Q~Q_{N=1} = Q_B + {\tilde Q}, where QBQ_B is the BRST charge of the bosonic string.
