1.14.14.10 down starvation of nitrilotriacetate-grown cells leads to a loss of nitrilotriacetate monooxygenase protein. A transition from nitrilotriacetate to D-glucose is accompanied by a rapid loss of nitrilotriacetate monooxygenase 1.14.14.10 up induction of nitrilotriacetate-degrading enzyme proceeds faster when the culture is supplied with mixtures of D-glucose and nitrilotriacetate rather than with nitrilotriacetate alone 1.14.14.10 up synthesis of nitrilotriacetate monooxygenase becomes induced when nitrilotriacetate contributes to more than approximately 1-3% of the total carbon in the substrate mixture supplied
