Abstract excerpt
During denitrification, the production and consumption of nitric oxide (NO), an obligatory and freely diffusible intermediate, must be tightly regulated in order to prevent accumulation of this highly reactive nitrogen oxide. Sequencing upstream of norCB, the structural genes for NO reductase, in the denitrifying bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.3, we have identified a gene, designated nnrR, which encodes a...
