Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an environmentally important atmospheric trace gas because it is an
effective greenhouse gas and it leads to ozone depletion through photo-chemical nitric …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an intermediate of the respiratory pathway known as denitrification, and
is a by-product of anaerobic nitrite respiration in the enteric Bacteria. Pathogens are also …

Phylogenetically diverse species of bacteria can catalyze the oxidation of ferrous iron [Fe (II)]
coupled to nitrate (NO3−) reduction, often referred to as nitrate-dependent iron oxidation …

Several biochemical mechanisms contribute to the biological generation of nitrous oxide
(N2O). N2O generating enzymes include the respiratory nitric oxide (NO) reductase, an …

The regulatory protein NsrR, a member of the Rrf2 family of transcription repressors, is
specifically dedicated to sensing nitric oxide (NO) in a variety of pathogenic and non …

Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) clonal complex 11 (cc11) lineage is a hypervirulent pathogen
responsible for outbreaks of invasive meningococcal disease, including among men who …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a toxic, free radical gas with diverse biological roles in eukaryotes and
bacteria, being involved in signalling, vasodilation, blood clotting and immunity and as an …

In Bacillus subtilis, NsrR is required for the upregulation of ResDE-dependent genes in the
presence of nitric oxide (NO). NsrR was shown to bind to the promoters of these genes and …

Since Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are obligate human pathogens, a
comparison with commensal species of the same genus could reveal differences important …

Background Maintenance of an anaerobic denitrification system in the obligate human
pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, suggests that an anaerobic lifestyle may be important …
