Cytochrome c nitrite reductase (NrfA) catalyzes the reduction of nitrite to ammonium in the
dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) pathway, a process that competes with …

Cytochrome c nitrite reductase, NrfA, catalyzes the six-electron reduction of nitrite, NO 2−, to
ammonium, NH 4+, as the final enzymatic step in the dissimilatory metabolic pathway of …

Nitrite has been used as a bacteriostatic agent for centuries in food preservation. It is widely
accepted that this biologically inert molecule functions indirectly, serving as a stable …
