Reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide by enteric bacteria
Abstract
Seven bacteria representing seven genera of enteric bacteria, in addition to Escherichia coli, were shown to reduce nitrite to NO under anaerobic conditions when the cells were grown as nitrate respirers. NO production was inhibited by nitrate and azide and was self limiting, just as was found to be the case previously with E. coli and its nitrate reductase. Maximum initial rates of NO production were observed at pH 5.5-6.

Ji and Hollocher first observed generation of NO from nitrite by E. coli in anaerobic conditions and later concluded that nitrite-dependent NO production was due to respiratory membrane-associated nitrate reductase enzymes.
“In 1988, Ji and Hollocher first observed the generation of NO from nitrite by E.coli in anaerobic conditions [30] and later concluded that nitrite-dependent NO production was due to the activity of the respiratory membrane-associated nitrate reductase enzymes [31].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
