General Information
|
| Term |
ammonia assimilation cycle |
ID (Ontology) |
GO:0019676 (Gene Ontology) |
| Definition |
The pathway by which ammonia is processed and incorporated into a cell. In an energy-rich (glucose-containing), nitrogen-poor environment, glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase form an ammonia assimilatory cycle, in which ammonia is incorporated into L-glutamate to form L-glutamine, which then combines with alpha-ketoglutarate to regenerate L-glutamate. This ATP-dependent cycle is essential for nitrogen-limited growth and for steady-state growth with some sources of nitrogen. |
| Also Known As |
"glutamate metabolic process via glutamine and ammonia" ; "glutamate metabolism via glutamine and ammonia" |
