Abstract excerpt
Bacterial denitrification reverses nitrogen fixation in the global N-cycle by transforming nitrate or nitrite to dinitrogen. Both nitrite and nitric oxide (NO) are considered as the chemical species within the denitrification pathway, that precede nitrous oxide (N2O), the first recognized intermediate with N,N-bonds antecedent to N2. Molecular cloning of the structural genes for NO reductase from Pseudomonas...
