Abstract excerpt
Three c-type cytochromes, NirM, NirC, and NirN, are encoded in the nirSMCFDLGHJEN gene cluster for cytochrome cd(1)-type nitrite reductase (NIR) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. nirS is the structural gene for NIR. NirM (cytochrome c(551)) is reported to be a physiological electron donor for nitrite reductase. The respective functions of NirC and NirN have remained unclear. In this study, we produced recombinant NirC...
