Abstract |
|---|
This work shows a regulatory network of Pseudomonas putida controlled in response to nitrogen availability. We define NtrC as the master nitrogen regulator and suggest that it not only activates pathways for the assimilation of alternative nitrogen sources, but also represses carbon catabolism under nitrogen-limited conditions, possibly to prevent excessive carbon and energy flow in the cell.
