Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen is a most important nutrient resource for Escherichia coli and other bacteria that harbor the glnKamtB operon, a high-affinity ammonium uptake system highly interconnected with cellular metabolism. Although this system confers an advantage to bacteria when growing under nitrogen-limiting conditions, little is known about the impact of these genes on microbial fitness under nutrient-rich conditions. Here,...
