Abstract excerpt
Operon fusion strains and mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 lacking the NADH-dependent nitrite reductase have been used to determine the regulation and physiological roles of two independent pathways for nitrite reduction to ammonia. Both the formate- and NADH-dependent pathways (Nrf and Nir, resp...
