Population

Cells and cell-free extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea

Intervention

Oxidation of ammonia and hydroxylamine, and reduction of nitrite under aerobic and anaerobic conditions

Outcome

Production of nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO)surrogate

This basic science study elucidates the biochemical pathways of nitrous oxide production in Nitrosomonas europaea, highlighting the close association of hydroxylamine oxidase and nitrite reductase activities.
