Abstract excerpt
Fusarium oxysporum JCM11502 expresses a denitrifying (nitrate (NO(3)(-))-respiring) mechanism and can thrive under oxygen (O(2)) limitation. The fungus reduces NO(3)(-) to nitrite at the initial step of denitrification. In this study, we cloned the gene coding NADH-NO(3)(-) reductase (NADH-Nar) (niaD) from F. oxysporum JCM11502. The niaD gene complemented the defective NO(3)(-) assimilation by mutant strain M10,...
