Nitrate reduction One that turns reddish brown is positive for first enzyme, means it has nitrate reductase. E. coli (positive)converted nitrate to nitrite. After you've added nitrate A & B, the other two tubes still gray looking, then add zinc powder. One turns red w/zinc, has neither enzyme. See zinc powder at bottom.
Shifting a nasA mutant from anaerobic to aerobic growth eliminated the culture's ability to reduce nitrate, i.e. the anaerobic nitrate reductase cannot function in the presence of oxygen. Thus P. aeruginosa can synthesize two distinct proteins which reduce nitrate to nitrite: an assimilatory nitrate reductase and a dissimilatory nitrate reductase.
In E. coli O 2 represses all anaerobic respiratory pathways and fermentation, whereas nitrate is the preferred acceptor under anaerobic conditions and represses other anaerobic pathways 5, 9, 11, 44. The hierarchy is effected by transcriptional regulation of the corresponding terminal reductases by O 2 and nitrate.

Microbial iron reduction (MIR) is an important and ubiquitous natural process in the biogeochemical cycling of iron and carbon in anaerobic sedimentary and subsurface environments. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine if the MIR process can enhance the inactivation of Escherichia coli cells under anaerobic conditions and (2) to identify potential inactivation mechanisms
positive result for nitrate reduction; negative test. colors not producing a color change after the addition of A and B reagents is doing so for one of two reasons? 1. nitrates were not reduced by the organism. 2. organism had such potent nitrate reductase that the nitrate was reduced past nitrite to molecular nitrogen.
Urinary nitrite: more than a marker of infection. 1997 Aug;50 (2):189-91. doi: 10.1016/S0090-4295 (97)00257-4. Objectives: The bacteriostatic gas nitric oxide (NO) is formed when nitrite is acidified. Infected urine may contain considerable amounts of nitrite as a result of bacterial nitrate reductase activity, and detection of nitrite in urine
3.17.34 Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction Test. Nitrate broth and nitrite broth are used to determine if an organism can reduce nitrate (NO 3 −) to nitrites (NO 2 −) and reduce nitrites to nitrogen gas (N 2). The reduction of nitrate…
