General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function deletion of cytochrome cd1-type nitrite reductase NirS gene or gene NirN results in impaired growth and smaller, fewer, and aberrantly shaped magnetite crystals during nitrate reduction. Nitrite reduction is completely abolished in the DELTAnirS mutant. NirN is required for full reductase activity of NirS by maintaining a proper form of d1 heme for holo-cytochrome cd1 assembly Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense
