The intracellular ratio of 2-oxoglutarate to glutamine has been analyzed under nutritional conditions leading to different activity levels of nitrate-assimilating enzymes in Phormidium laminosum (Agardh) Gom. This non-N2-fixing cyanobacterium adapted to the available nitrogen source by modifying its

The two enzymes involved in the assimilatory pathway of nitrate in Azotobacter vinelandii are corregulated. Nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase are inducible by nitrate and nitrite. Ammonium represses induction by nitrate of both reductases. Repression by ammonium is higher in media containing 2
Synechococcus leopoliensis was cultivated in a light/dark regime of 12:12 h. After onset of the illumination (2 h), the specific activity of nitrite reductase, glutamine synthetase and isocitric dehydrogenase increased; that of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase decreased and that of nitrate reductas
