physiological function | under nitrate-rich conditions, the nar and nap genes encoding a membrane-bound form and a periplasmic form of nitrate reductase, as well as NO-regulated genes encoding flavohaemoglobin, flavorubredoxin and hybrid cluster protein are induced following transition from the oxic to anoxic state, and 20% of nitrate consumed in steady-state is released as N2O when nitrite has accumulated to millimolar levels. In a narG mutant lacking membrane-bound nitrate reductase, the steady-state rate of N2O production was about 30-fold lower than that of the wild-type. A combination of nitrate-sufficiency, nitrite accumulation and an active Nar-type nitrate reductase leads to NO and thence N2O production, and this can account for up to 20% of the nitrate catabolized | Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium |
