Population

Thiosphaera pantotropha cells (aerobically or anaerobically grown)

Intervention

Purification of nitrite reductase and pseudoazurin; inhibition with diethyldithiocarbamate or azide

Outcome

Identification of the type of nitrite reductase and electron donor

The study clarifies that Thiosphaera pantotropha utilizes a cytochrome cd1-type nitrite reductase, with pseudoazurin acting as an electron donor, correcting previous reports of a copper-type enzyme.
