Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term ammonium inhibition of nitrate utilization by Anacystis nidulans and other cyanobacteria
TL;DR: Ammonium assimilation, rather than ammonium itself, seems to regulate nitrate utilization in A. nidulans, and its prevention by MSX and azaserine was demonstrated in the filamentous cyanobacteria Anabaena and Nostoc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties and function of yeast pyruvate carboxylase.
TL;DR: A procedure for purification of pyruvate carboxylase from bakers’ yeast is described, and some of the properties of this enzyme, including its lability, affiity for various substrates, activators, and inhibitors, and the effect of PH are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferredoxin-nitrite reductase from spinach.
TL;DR: Nitrite reductase from a crude homogenate of spinach leaves has been purified about 500-fold and freed from NADP-reductase, and a method based on the reduction of nitrite by ferredoxin chemically reduced with hydrosulfite has been successfully applied to the aerobic assay of the enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic nature of nitrate uptake and reduction in the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans
TL;DR: The photosynthetic nature of the initial stages of nitrate assimilation in cells of the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans treated with l -methionine dl -sulfoximine to prevent further assimilation of the ammonium resulting from nitrate reduction was investigated in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavin nucleotide nitrate reductase from spinach.
TL;DR: Due to the fact that FMN and FAD are the effective electron donors for the reduction of NO3− in higher plants and that they can be reduced by a variety of enzyme systems, the enzyme until now known as NAD(P)H2: nitrate oxidoreductase has to be considered as a mixture of two different proteins, and the latter will be systematically classified as FMNH2(FADH2): nitrate reductase.
