Abstract
The nitrogen fixation (nif) genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae are controlled at the level of transcription by the availability of fixed nitrogen to the cell. This control is mediated at two levels, by the general nitrogen regulation (Ntr) control system, and by the action of a specific nif gene product (NifL) on the nif-specific transcriptional activator protein NifA. The mechanism by which the NifL protein senses and responds to the intracellular nitrogen status is being investigated.
