Abstract

The uptake of methylamine as the sole nitrogen, but not carbon, source by Pseudomonas sp. strain MA was investigated. Under these growth conditions, a high-affinity, low-capacity uptake system was present having a Km of 16 microM and Vmax of 2 nmol.min-.mg (dry weight) of cells that was competitively inhibited by ammonium chloride. The transport system was induced by growth on succinate with methylamine as the sole nitrogen source.
