Aminooxyacetate and aminoacetonitrile cause increased excretion of glycolate by the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica. Both compounds also reduce NH(4)-N release induced by methionine sulfoximine in non-nitrogen-fixing cultures. Changes in amino acid pool sizes together with changes in activities of some enzymes related to glycolate metabolism show that glyoxylate to glycine conversion and glycine to serine conversion are inhibited by aminooxyacetate and aminoacetonitrile, respectively. The results also verify that photorespiratory glycolate metabolism via amination of glyoxylate is operative in A. cylindrica.
