Nitrogen assimilation and amino acid biosynthesis are essential metabolic processes. Nitrogen is incorporated into amino acids through the nitrogen cycle and nitrogenase, with nitrate and nitrite being reduced to ammonia. Ammonia is then assimilated into glutamate by glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase in bacteria, and glutamine can be converted back to glutamate. Glutamate serves as the primary nitrogen donor for amino acid synthesis through transamination reactions involving pyridoxolphosphate. Amino acid biosynthesis involves both essential and non-essential amino acids through diverse pathways.
