His work focuses on cytochrome c nitrite reductase —an essential enzyme in the biological nitrogen cycle that facilitates the conversion of nitrite to ammonium. “Understanding this enzymatic ...

For total RNA extraction, approximately 0.5 g of fresh mycelia from the Pisolithus sp.1 strain was frozen, grounded into a fine powder in liquid nitrogen and homogenized in RNAiso Plus solution. Total ...

ABSTRACT: Sewage introduction into rivers has altered the physical and chemical properties of waters and also the microbial metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the Escherichia coli and nutrient ...

Functional analysis characterized that ESCC microbiota had altered nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase functions compared with PN group. These results suggest that specific microbes and the ...

We now show with the aid of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo experiments that 3-NOP specifically targets methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR ... Concomitantly, the nitrate ester is reduced to nitrite, ...

The preservative sodium nitrite fights harmful bacteria in ham, salami and other processed and cured meats and also lends them their pink coloration. However, under certain conditions in the human ...

ABSTRACT: The effect of different concentrations of putrescine on biochemical changes in root and shoot of six days old maize seedlings in terms of enzymes of ammonium assimilation were examined. The ...

As examples, we generated knockouts of the genes encoding nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase, resulting in strains that were unable to grow on nitrate and nitrate/nitrite, respectively. The ...

Moreover, we explored in vivo nitrite generation and bioactivity after nitrate administration under normoxic as well as post-ischemic conditions. Next, we compared nitrate reductase activity ...
