Novel nirK cluster genes in Nitrosomonas europaea are required for NirK-dependent tolerance to nitrite.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2005

Abstract excerpt

Nitrite reductase (NirK) of Nitrosomonas europaea confers tolerance to nitrite (NO2-). The nirK gene is clustered with three genes of unknown physiological function: ncgABC. At present, this organization is unique to nitrifying bacteria. Here we report that the ncgABC gene products facilitate NirK-dependent NO2- tolerance by reversing the negative physiological effect that is associated with the activity of NirK...
