INTRODUCTION Glutamate is the major amino group donor in any living organism due to delivering 80–88% of the nitrogen for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules (Ikeda et al., 1996; Magasanik, 1996, 2003; Wohlheuter et al., 1973). Beside its role as a precursor for the synthesis of the glutamate family amino acids, such as glutamine, arginine, and proline, it is also directly incorporated into proteins.
