In contrast to the previously held notion that nitrogen catabolite repression is primarily
responsible for the ability of yeast cells to use good nitrogen sources in preference to poor …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a brief description of nitrogen catabolite
repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ancestral use of yeasts in industry has led to …

The aims of this chapter are to focus on the control of nitrogen metabolism, to emphasize
how nitrogen metabolism is integrated with other aspects of metabolism and cellular …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to use a wide variety of nitrogen sources for growth. Not
all nitrogen sources support growth equally well. In order to select the best out of a large …

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the expression of all known nitrogen catabolite pathways are
regulated by four regulators known as Gln3, Gat1, Dal80, and Deh1. This is known as …

Myriad biological processes are dynamically regulated in response to environmental cues.
Transcriptional gene regulation is of fundamental importance, and regulatory mechanisms …

In yeast, carbon catabolite repression has not been as extensively investigated as it has in
Eseherichia coli (Saier, 1991), but even so, it has been found to involve a number of distinct …

Nitrogen is one of the most important essential nutrient sources for biogenic activities.
Regulation of nitrogen metabolism in microorganisms is complicated and elaborate. For this …

Aerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown with six
different nitrogen sources were subjected to transcriptome analysis. The use of chemostats …

Yeasts are capable of utilizing a wide diversity of nitrogen compounds as nitrogen sources,
and the ability or inability to utilize one or several of these compounds can be used in …
