Research Abstract |
Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) was purified from marine ammonia-oxidizing bacterium (AOB) strain NS58. Generation of N_2O as a by-product of HAO reaction was evidenced by in vitro experiment using the purified enzyme. Unique isotopic property of the N_2O generated by HAO reaction was also revealed. Molecular and enzymatic features of nitrite reductase, that was involved in the nitrifier denitrification pathway (another N_2O generation mechanism in AOB), was investigated using the recombinant enzyme.
