Molecular diversity of nitrite reductase genes (nirK) in nitrifying bacteria.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Mar 2007

Cantera J Jason L, Stein Lisa Y

Abstract excerpt

Sequences of copper-containing nitrite reductase (nirK) genes obtained from completed nitrifier genome sequences were used to design polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers to amplify partial nirK sequences from one Nitrosomonas and four Nitrosospira isolates. Deduced NirK protein sequences were highly similar to other copper-containing nitrite reductases including conserved motifs. Phylogenetic comparisons of...
