Abstract excerpt

Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 and Rhizobium etli CE3 turn over nitrogen and carbon from glutamine to ammonium and CO2, respectively. Some of the ammonium released is assimilated back into glutamine, indicating that a glutamine cycle similar to that in Neurospora operates in Rhizobium. In addition,...
