Abstract excerpt
Nitrite (NO2 -) is a key denitrification intermediate, formed from nitrate (NO3 -). Transient NO2 - accumulation varies among denitrifiers, yet the underlying causes remain poorly understood, despite its potential toxicity and role in NO and N2O emissions. We profiled 18 related Stutzerimonas strains, including the model Stutzerimonas perfectomarina ZoBell, and identified three phenotypic clusters (full, partial...
