description Background: Nitrogen sources play an essential role in maintaining the physiological and biochemical activity of bacteria. Nitrogen metabolism, which is the core of microorganism metabolism, makes bacteria able to autonomously respond to different external nitrogen environments by exercising complex internal regulatory networks to help them stay in an ideal state. Although various studies have been put forth to better understand this regulation in Bacillus, and many valuable viewpoints have been obtained, these views need to be presented systematically and their possible applications need to be specified. Aim of review: The intention is to provide a deep and comprehensive understanding of nitrogen metabolism in Bacillus, an important industrial microorganism, and thereby apply this regulatory logic to synthetic biology to improve biosynthesis competitiveness. In addition, the potential researches in the future are also discussed. Key scientific concept of review: Understanding the meticulous regulation process of nitrogen metabolism in Bacillus not only could facilitate research on metabolic engineering but also could provide constructive insights and inspiration for studies of other microorganisms.
