1. A nitrogen-sensitive expression system comprising:
a nucleic acid sequence comprising an upstream truncated or downstream truncated variant of SEQ ID NO: 234 or a sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to said truncated sequence; wherein the upstream truncated or downstream truncated variant of SEQ ID NO: 234 or the sequence having at least 95% sequence identity thereto comprises (i) a transcription factor region comprising an NtcA binding site, (ii) a core promoter region, and (iii) nitrogen-sensitive promoter activity; wherein,
