Transcriptome analysis of nitrogen assimilation preferences in <i>Burkholderia</i> sp. M6-3 and <i>Arthrobacter</i> sp. M7-15.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Ammonium (NH₄ ⁺) and nitrate (NO₃ ^-) are the two main forms of inorganic nitrogen (N) that exist in soil and both can be absorbed and utilized by plants. As a vast and crucial biome, soil microorganisms are responsible for mediating the inorganic N assimilation process and enhancing nitrogen use efficiency. Understanding how these microorganisms assimilate different forms of inorganic nitrogen is crucial. There are a handful of microorganisms that play a dominant role in the process of soil inorganic nitrogen assimilation and have a significant advantage in abundance. However, microbial preferences for ammonium or nitrate, as well as differences in their metabolic pathways under co-existing ammonium and nitrate conditions, re
