Formation of two forms of nitrogenase and effects of its switch-off by ammonia in purple bacteria

Abstract
The switch-off of nitrogenase by ammonia in cells of the purple bacteria is not due to the conversion of nitrogenase into an inactive form. The latter is probably an initial stage of the enzyme degradation in the presence of excess nitrogen.
