Abstract excerpt
Klebsiella aerogenes W70 could grow aerobically with nitrate or nitrite as the sole nitrogen source. The assimilatory nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase responsible for this ability required the presence of either nitrate or nitrite as an inducer, and both enzymes were repressed by ammonia. The repression by ammonia, which required the NTR (nitrogen regulatory) system (A. Macaluso, E. A. Best, and R. A....
