Abstract excerpt
Nitrate transport by Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 cells was inhibited by ammonium and by inhibitors of CO2 fixation. Ammonium assimilation inhibitors, such as L-methionine D,L-sulfoximine, were known to prevent the negative effects of ammonium and of inhibitors of CO2 fixation on nitrate uptake, leading to propose that CO2 fixation was required to counteract the feed-back inhibition of nitrate assimilation....
