Abstract excerpt
Production of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N(2)O) by ammonia (NH(3))-oxidizing bacteria in natural and man-made habitats is thought to contribute to the undesirable emission of NO and N(2)O into the earth's atmosphere. The NH(3)-oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea expresses nitrite reductase (NirK), an enzyme that has so far been studied predominantly in heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria where it...
