The location of the enzymes of mmonia assimilation in root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris L.
TLDR
The location of the enzymes potentially involved in ammonia assimilation in nitrogen fixing root nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris has been examined by sucrose density gradient separation of the bacteroids from plant organelles and there is little evidence for the presence of significant proportions of the total glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase activity being present in the bacteriod.About:

Products of Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Higher Plants: Synthesis, Transport, and Metabolism
TL;DR: The use of nanofiltration membranes for the recovery of phosphorous with a second type of technology for recovery of nitrogen is suggested to be a viable process.

Role and regulation of L-glutamate dehydrogenase activity in higher plants
TL;DR: The enzyme seems to be important in assimilation of ammonia under stress conditions such as dark starvation, high temperature, salinity, water stress, environmental pollution, senescence and other abnormalities.

Transport and Metabolism of Carbon and Nitrogen in Legume Nodules
TL;DR: It is on these unique qualities of nodules that this chapter focuses, in the hope that there are some useful lessons to be learned both by the general plant physiologist and by those struggling to understand the chemical interactions of the plant and bacterium.

Ammonia assimilation by rhizobium cultures and bacteroids
C. M. Brown,M. J. Dilworth +1 more
TL;DR: There was no evidence for the operation of the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase system in ammonia assimilation in root nodules, suggesting that ammonia produced by nitrogen fixation in the bacteroid is assimilated by enzymes of the plant system.

The location of nitrite reductase and other enzymes related to amino Acid biosynthesis in the plastids of root and leaves.
TL;DR: The results suggest that most, if not all, the nitrite reductase and acetolactate synthetase activity of the cell is in the plastids, and some evidence was obtained for low levels of glutamate dehydrogenase activity in chloroplasts.
