Abstract

Intracellular accumulation of nitrate, indicative of the operation of an active nitrate transport system, has been measured in intact cells of the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans. The ability of the cells to accumulate nitrate was effectively hindered by either ammonium addition or selective inhibition of CO2 fixation by DL-glyceraldehyde, with the effect of either compound being prevented by previously blocking ammonium assimilation. The results support the contention that nitrate utilization in cyanobacteria is regulated at the level of nitrate transport through the concerted action of ammonium assimilation and CO2 fixation.
