Abstract excerpt
The aniA gene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae encodes an outer membrane lipoprotein which is strongly induced when gonococci are grown anaerobically in vitro in the presence of nitrite. Database searches with the amino acid sequence derived from the aniA structural gene revealed significant homologies to copper-containing nitrite reductases from several denitrifying bacteria. We constructed an insertional mutation in...
