Mutant strains SU1, SU4, and
US1
lacking glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activity were isolated from strains of P. aeruginosa for which histidine is a growth rate-limiting source of nitrogen. Strains SU1 and SU4 were unable to grow when a low concentration of ammonia and a variety of compounds, including histidine, were supplied as sole sources of nitrogen. A revertant of strain SU1, strain 39, produced no GOGAT but high levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent
glutamate dehydrogenase
and had restored ability to grow on a limited number of nitrogen sources. Strain
US1
grew at the same rate in histidine medium as did its parent; it was derepressed for glutamine synthase synthesis, and histidase was less sensitive to repression by ammonia than in the parent strain. We conclude that GOGAT is not essential for growth on histidine but high levels of glutamine synthase are required nd high levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent
glutamate dehydrogenase
can sustain growth at low concentrations of ammonia in the absence of GOGAT.
