The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however,
must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion …

▪ Abstract Nitrate reductase (NR; EC 1.6. 6.1-3) catalyzes NAD (P) H reduction of nitrate to
nitrite. NR serves plants, algae, and fungi as a central point for integration of metabolism by …

Nanostructure materials are attracting a great deal of attention because of their potential for
achieving specific processes and selectivity, especially in biological and pharmaceutical …

Biochemical investigation of nitrate assimilation enzymes spans the past four decades. With
the molecular cloning of genes for nitrate reductases and nitrite reductases, exciting new …

The nitrate assimilatory pathway has been the matter of intensive genetic and molecular
analysis over the past decade. Mutants impaired in the expression of nitrate reductase have …

Nitrate reductase (EC 1.6. 6.1) is an enzyme found in most higher plants and appears to be
a key regulator of nitrate assimilation as a result of enzyme induction by nitrate. The …

The progress in industrialization everyday life has led to the continuous entry of several
anthropogenic compounds, including dyes, into surrounding ecosystem causing arduous …

Simple Summary An efficient immobilized bacterial consortium of Raoultella planticola,
Ochrobactrum thiophenivorans, Bacillus flexus, and Staphylococcus xylosus was used to …

The ability to use nitrate as sole nitrogen source to sustain growth is a property shared by
some bacteria and fungi and by most algae and plants. The biochemical pathway …

NR (EC 1.6. 6.1-3) was first isolated and characterized more than 40 years ago, and each
decade of study of this key enzyme of nitrate assimilation has been associated with a new …
