Abstract excerpt

A sensitive procedure for the determination of nitrate within the 1- to 50-microM range is described. The method is based on the photoreduction of nitrate to nitrite by whole cells of a nitrite reductase-less mutant strain of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus R2. Cell suspensions of th...
