Catabolite repression and role of cyclic AMP in CO2 fixation and H2 metabolism in Rhizobium spp

A M McGetrick et al. J Bacteriol. 1985 Sep.

Abstract

CO2 fixation in Rhizobium meliloti was repressed by a variety of organic carbon sources. Cellular cyclic AMP levels were similar in repressed and nonrepressed cultures. Exogenous cyclic AMP or additional copies of the adenyl cyclase gene in cells experiencing repression failed to affect the rates of CO2 fixation. However, in R. japonicum catabolite repression of H2 utilization was partially circumvented by the presence of the R. meliloti adenyl cyclase gene.
