Characterization of denitrifying activity by the alphaproteobacterium, Sphingomonas wittichii RW1
Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 has no reported denitrifying activity yet encodes nitrite and nitric oxide reductases. The aims of this study were to determine conditions under which S. wittichii RW1 consumes nitrite (NO2-) and produces nitrous oxide (N2O), examine expression of putative genes for N-oxid...
