Comparison of Nitrogen Oxide Metabolism Among Diverse Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) have well characterized genes that encode and express nitrite reductases (NIR) and nitric oxide reductases (NOR). However, the connection between presence or absence of these and other genes for nitrogen transformations with the physiological production of nitric oxi...
