Abstract excerpt
The Corynebacterium glutamicum gltB and gltD genes, encoding the large (alpha) and small (beta) subunit of glutamate synthase (GOGAT), were investigated in this study. Using RT-PCR, a common transcript of gltB and gltD was shown. Reporter gene assays and Northern hybridization experiments revealed that transcription of this operon depends on nitrogen starvation. The expression of gltBD is under control of the...
