Abstract excerpt
Nitric oxide (NO) is generated in biological systems primarily via the activity of NO synthases and nitrate and nitrite reductases. Here we show that Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. typhimurium) grown anaerobically with nitrate is capable of generating polarographically detectable NO...
