Strains carrying operon fusions between the promotor of the chl I gene and the lac structural genes were constructed. From these strains in which the expression of the lac genes is under the control of both nitrate and oxygen, spontaneous regulatory mutants were selected: (i) mutants which synthesiz
In green fronds of Spirodela polyrhiza a red-light pulse induces an increase of nitrate reductase (NR) activity. The effect is obtained under optimal assay conditions (absence of Mg 2+ ), therefore reflecting the NR protein level. The effect of a single red-light pulse is reversible by a subsequent
Nitrate reductase is demonstrated to exert an autogenous control on its own synthesis. This effect requires the participation of the molybdenum cofactor. Use of strains in which the control region of the nar operon is mutated reveals two loci in this region: one, affected in strain LCB94, is common
The regulation of the development of nitrate reductase (NR) activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardii has been compared in a wild-type strain and in a mutant (nit-A) which possesses a modified nitrate reductase enzyme that is non-functional in vivo. The modified enzyme cannot use NAD(P)H as an electron d
