Abstract Depending on the growth conditionsParacoccus denitrificans synthesizes two different carriers mediating uptake of methylamine. When used as a nitrogen source, methylamine is transported via a NH 4 + carrier, and its transport is inhibited by NH 4 + but not by ethylamine. When used as a carbon source, methylamine is transported by a specific alkylamine carrier, and its transport is inhibited by ethylamine but not by NH 4 + . The NH 4 + carrier is under nitrogen control, the alkylamine carrier under carbon control.
