(10) Accordingly, the nitrate reductase in the chlorate-resistant mutant is of the assimilatory type.
(11) A detailed reaction pathway for the six-electron reduction of SO3(2-) to S2- by the assimilatory-type sulfite reductase (SiR) from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) has been deduced from experiments with 35S-labeled enzyme and the relative reaction rates of nitrogenous substrates.
(12) The assimilatory nitrate reductase of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas capsulata strain AD2 was purified to homogeneity by a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and isoelectric focusing (isoelectric point of 4.8).
(13) In vitro complementation of the soluble assimilatory nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced form (NADPH)-nitrate reductase was attained by mixing cell-free preparations of certain Neurospora nitrate reductase mutants: induced nit-1 (uniquely possessing inducible NADPH-cytochrome c reductase) with (a) uninduced or induced nit-2 or nit-3, or (b) uninduced wild type.
(14) P. aeruginosa can also reduce nitrate to nitrite through an assimilatory pathway that provides the cell with reduced nitrogen for biosyntheses.
(15) We conclude that K. pneumoniae has distinct nitrate-responsive regulators for controlling respiratory and assimilatory gene expression.
(16) The solubilized dissimilatory reductase from E. aerogenes moved further in the gels (R(f) = 0.49) than the soluble assimilatory reductase; the solubilized dissimilatory reductase from the denitrifier, P. perfectomarinus, moved further in the gels (R(f) = 0.64) than either of the enzymes from E. aerogenes.
(17) This is the first reported sequence of a member of a new class of low molecular weight assimilatory sulfite-reducing enzymes recently identified in a number of anaerobic bacteria [Moura, I., Lina, A. R., Moura, J. J. G., Xavier, A. V., Fauque, G., Peck, H. D., & Le Gall, J.
(18) Denitrifying or assimilatory nitrate reductase were not detected, and the copper nitrite reductase, rather than cytochrome cd, was present.
(19) Bisulfite reductase (desulfoviridin) and an assimilatory sulfite reductase have been purified from extracts of Desulfovibrio vulgaris.
(20) The assimilatory nitrate reductase was purified 60-fold from a newly isolated, nitrate assmilating strain of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas capsulata.
