Resolution of Key Roles for the Distal Pocket Histidine in Cytochrome c Nitrite Reductases [PDF]
, 2015 Cytochrome c nitrite reductases perform a key step in the biogeochemical N-cycle by catalyzing the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonium. These multi-heme cytochromes contain a number of His/His ligated c-hemes for electron transfer and a ...

The nitrite oxidizing system of Nitrobacter winogradskyi [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1988 Cytochrome components which participate in the oxidation of nitrite in Nitrobacter winogradskyi have been highly purified and their properties studied in detail. Cytochrome a1c1 is an iron-sulphur molybdoenzyme which has haems a and c and acts as a nitrite-cytochrome c oxidoreductase.

Growth of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria by aerobic hydrogen oxidation
Science, 2014 Oxidizing hydrogen in place of nitrite Microorganisms are important drivers of Earth's nitrogen cycle. Many of the organisms responsible for mediating the reactions of one phase of nitrogen to another are thought to be ecologic specialists. Using a combination of genomic and experimental analyses, Koch et al.

Dependence of nitrite oxidation on nitrite and oxygen in low‐oxygen seawater [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractNitrite oxidation is an essential step in transformations of fixed nitrogen. The physiology of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) implies that the rates of nitrite oxidation should be controlled by concentration of their substrate, nitrite, and the terminal electron acceptor, oxygen.
