Abstract excerpt
The Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 napABC genes, encoding nitrate reductase activity, were isolated and sequenced. The derived protein sequences are very similar throughout the whole Nap segment to the NapABC protein sequences of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp. G-179, Ralstonia eutropha, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and Paracoccus denitrificans. Based on whole-cell nitrate reductase assays with the artificial...
