This paper reviews dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) in soils-a newly
appreciated pathway of nitrogen (N) cycling in the terrestrial ecosystems. The reduction of …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

The nitrate anion is a simple, abundant and relatively stable species, yet plays a significant
role in global cycling of nitrogen, global climate change, and human health. Although it has …

Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis is an ancient, ubiquitous, and highly conserved
pathway leading to the biochemical activation of molybdenum. Moco is the essential …

Under a shortage of oxygen, bacterial growth can be faced mainly by two ATP-generating
mechanisms:(i) by synthesis of specific high-affinity terminal oxidases that allow bacteria to …

Molybdoenzymes are widespread in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms where they play
crucial functions in detoxification reactions in the metabolism of humans and bacteria, in …

Over the past two decades, prominent importance of molybdenum-containing enzymes in
prokaryotes has been put forward by studies originating from different fields. Proteomic or …

This study demonstrates that the deltaproteobacterium Desulfurivibrio alkaliphilus can grow
chemolithotrophically by coupling sulfide oxidation to the dissimilatory reduction of nitrate …

In the genome of Shewanella oneidensis, a napDAGHB gene cluster encoding periplasmic
nitrate reductase (NapA) and accessory proteins and an nrfA gene encoding periplasmic …

Abstract Nitrite (NO 2−) is an inorganic contaminant that exists widely in the environment
including water and food products, excessive amounts of NO 2− would threaten humans and …
