RESUMO
Azotobacter vinelandii exhibited diauxie when grown in a medium containing both acetate and glucose as carbon sources. Acetate was used as the primary carbon source during the acetate-glucose diauxie. Uptake of acetate was constitutively expressed during both diauxic phases of growth. Induction of the glucose uptake system was inhibited in the presence of acetate. Acetate was also the preferred growth substrate for A. vinelandii grown in a medium containing either fructose, maltose, xylitol, or mannitol. The tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates citrate, isocitrate, and 2-oxoglutarate inhibited glucose utilization in cells grown in glucose medium containing these substrates, and diauxic growth was observed under these growth conditions. Temporal expression of isocitrate-lyase, ATPase, and nitrogenase was exhibited during acetate-glucose diauxie.
