abstract：:In Klebsiella pneumoniae, products of the nitrogen fixation nifLA operon regulate transcription of the other nif operons. NifA activates transcription by sigma54-holoenzyme. In vivo, NifL antagonizes the action of NifA under aerobic conditions or in the presence of combined nitrogen. In contrast to a previous report, ...
