An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:

Starkenburg, Shawn R.

Abstract:

The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...
