Homeostatic control of nitric oxide (NO) at nanomolar concentrations in denitrifying bacteria - modelling and experimental determination of NO reductase kinetics in vivo in Paracoccus denitrificans.

abstract：:Bacterial assemblages in coastal pelagic environments are exposed to pronounced temporal and spatial fluctuations in the availability of monomeric substrates. Little is known about the response of particular bacterial groups to such variability. We studied glucose incorporation at various concentrations (0.1-100 nM) b...
