Trehalose fulfils a wide variety of functions in cells, acting as a stress protectant, storage
carbohydrate and compatible solute. Recent evidence, however, indicates that trehalose …

To examine pathways of glutamate and glutamine metabolism in the ectomycorrhizal fungus
Paxillus involutus, tracer kinetic experiments were performed using l-[U-14C] glutamate and …

Phenotypic plasticity and competitive strength are major mechanisms determining the
success of invasive species and are influenced by abiotic factors. A rise in the ratio of …

Agaricus bisporus has the enzymic potential to assimilate ammonia by the activities of
glutamine synthetase (EC 6· 3.1· 2), NADp-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1· 4.1 …

Polysaccharide formation by Aureobasidium pullulans was affected by the nitrogen source
in the medium, and its yield fell when excess ammonium ions were present, even under …

Microbial l-malate production from renewable feedstock is a promising alternative to
petroleum-based chemical synthesis. However, high l-malate production of Aspergillus …

Although branched-chain amino acids are synthesized as building blocks of proteins, we
found that the fungus Aspergillus nidulans excretes them into the culture medium under …

1H/15N and 13C NMR were used to investigate metabolism in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9)
cells. Labelled substrates ([2-15N] glutamine,[5-15N] glutamine,[2-15N] glutamate …

Unlike other lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis NCDO 2118 was able to
grow in a medium lacking glutamate and the amino acids of the glutamate family. Growth in …

NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) mediates fungal ammonium
assimilation through reductive synthesis of glutamate from 2-oxoglutarate. By virtue of its …
