Environmental factors influencing nitrate respiration in Escherichia coli K12 and Rhizobium trifolii

M L Skotnicki et al. Microbios. 1979.

Abstract

The nitrate respiratory systems of both the facultative anaerobe Escherichia coli K12 strain W3350 and the aerobe Rhizobium trifolii strain T1 are regulated in a similar manner by a complex set of interactions involving H2, N2, CO2, glucose and nitrate. In addition, the nitrate respiratory system of strain T1 can be regulated by chlorate. A possible mechanism is presented to illustrate how these complex interactions might take place.
