Ammonia or ammonium ion as substrate for oxidation by Nitrosomonas europaea cells and extracts

I Suzuki et al. J Bacteriol. 1974 Oct.

Abstract

The effect of pH on the K(m) values for ammonia was studied in its oxidation by Nitrosomonas cells and cell-free extracts. The K(m) values decreased markedly with increasing pH, suggesting (NH(3)) rather than (NH(4) (+)) as the actual substrate for oxidation.
