Some properties of a Klebsiella pneumoniae ammonium transport negative mutant (Amt-).

Abstract:

:The main property of an Amt- (ammonium transport negative) mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae is its inability to accumulate NH4+ intracellularly. When growing on nitrogen sources other than NH4+, the mutant constantly looses NH3 by diffusion. This loss results in poor growth. The NH3 excretion suggests the existence of a futile cycle (NH3 loss/NH4+ reabsorption) in the wild type and possibly other bacterial strains, which do not constantly excrete NH3.
