Positive and negative regulation of transferred nif genes mediated by indigenous GlnR in Gram-positive Paenibacillus polymyxa.

Ammonia is a major signal that regulates nitrogen fixation in most diazotrophs. Regulation of nitrogen fixation by ammonia in the Gram-negative diazotrophs is well-characterized. In these bacteria, this regulation occurs mainly at the level of nif (nitrogen fixation) gene transcription, which requir...
