“…Irrespective of the carbon source, the intracellular cAMP levels and adenylate cyclase remain constant, and external addition of cAMP does not alter the repression (20,28). In pseudomonads, organic acids are found to suppress glucose uptake and its catabolizing enzymes (6,16,17,23,32). Enzymes necessary for the utilization of amide (29), histidine (20), protocatechuate (35), and xylene (4,34) are suppressed in the presence of organic acids.…”
