Abstract excerpt
Assimilatory nitrite reductase (aNiR) reduces nitrite ions (NO(2)(-)) to ammonium ions (NH(4)(+)), whereas assimilatory sulfite reductase reduces sulfite (SO(3)(2-)) to hydrogen sulfide (HS(-)). Although aNiR can also reduce SO(3)(2-), its activity is much lower than when NO(2)(-) is reduced as t...
