Nitrogen is a major element found in many of the simple compounds and nearly al of the complexmacromolecules oflvingcells. Proteins and nuclei acids are espially rich in nitrogen. Thus, it should not be is at a substan-tial cellular investmentis madein the metaboeic machinery compising nitrogen catooic path-ways to ensure a constant nitrogen supply for growth. Extensive studies of nibtrgen metabo-las ansd its, control have been carried out in three fungi, Neurospora crassa, Aspergilus nidzdns, and Saccharomyces cerevisiue. In each of'these major control systems exist to regulate nitrogen metabolism. In this review, certain nitrogen cataboic pathways will be briefly descnrbed, and the regulatory mechanisms which control nitrogen mebotabism in these fungi wilbe onsidered in depth. A numn-ber of_eelet reviews conceningnitrogen me-tbolism and variou related topic in fungi are available (23, 29, 30, 59, 60, 65, 66, 84, 88, 99). Although certain compounds, partclarly am-monia, glutamate, and gluine, are favored nitrogen sources, these fungi are capable ofutimany diverse secondarysources, including nitrate nitrite, purins, proteins, numerous ramino acids, acetamide, and even acrylamide.
