Bacterially mediated N-nitrosation reactions and endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds.
Results are presented demonstrating some factors that affect the kinetics of bacterially mediated N-nitrosation reactions. Two groups of bacteria, differing in their nitrate/nitrite metabolism, are contrasted. These findings are discussed in relation to a role for bacteria in endogenous N-nitrosation reactions.
