Abstract excerpt
Ammonium is an important source of nitrogen for many microorganisms, including yeast, and its availability also has substantial effects on the nitrogen metabolism and development of yeast cells. Three ammonium transporter genes of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, named amt1, amt2, and amt3, were identified on the basis of amino acid sequence similarity to members of the ammonium...
