Bacterial nitrite-reducing enzymes.
The enzymic reduction of nitrite takes place in a wide range of bacteria and is found to occur in denitrifying, assimilatory and dissimilatory pathways. In this review we describe the major molecular characteristics of the various enzymes employed in each of these processes.
