In vitro Nitrate Reductase Activity Assay of Mycolicibacterium smegmatis Crude Extract [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Nitrate is one of the major inorganic nitrogen sources for microorganisms. Many bacterial and archaeal lineages can express cytoplasmic assimilatory nitrate reductase (NAS), which catalyzes the rate-limiting reduction of nitrate to nitrite in the nitrate

Mycobacterium smegmatis does not display functional redundancy in nitrate reductase enzymes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Reduction of nitrate to nitrite in bacteria is an essential step in the nitrogen cycle, catalysed by a variety of nitrate reductase (NR) enzymes. The soil dweller, Mycobacterium smegmatis is able to assimilate nitrate and herein we set out to confirm the
