Abstract: | Summary Machete resistant (Matr), basalin resistant (Basr), 3(3,4 dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea resistant (DCMUr), atrazine resistant (Atrr) and propanil resistant (Prpr) phenotypes ofGloeocapsa sp. were cotransformed toNostocmuscorum at high frequency. Spontaneously occurring mutants of the multiple herbicide resistant transformant containing L-methionine-DL-sulfoximine resistant (Msxr), ethylene diamine resistant (Edar), or phosphinothricin resistant (Pptr) glutamine synthetase (GS) showed extracellular liberation of ammonia resulting from fixation of N2 under photosynthetic conditions. Results suggest a definite role of GS activity in regulation of extracellular ammonia. |
