| Abstract: | The N2 fixing bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae, Azospirillum brasilense, Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides and Rhodospirillum rubrum, but not Azotobacter vinelandii accumulate the glutamine analogue methionine sulfoximine in the cell. In the accumulating cells methionine sulfoximine inhibits ammonium transport. Accumulation and inhibition are prevented by glutamine. |
