Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis assimilates ammonium by the concerted action of glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase. The expression of the gltAB operon encoding the latter enzyme is impaired in B. subtilis ccpA mutant strains. CcpA is a pleiotropic transcriptional regulator that is the key factor in the regulation of carbon metabolism. However, in addition to their defect in catabolite repression ccpA mutants are...
