Abstract
Hydroxylamine oxidation was measured in four recently isolated heterot rophic nitrate-reducing bacteria belonging to the genera Pseudomonas, Moraxella, Arthrobacter and Aeromonas. A hydroxylamine-cytochrome c ox idoreductase activity was detected in periplasmic fractions of the Pse udomonas and Aeromonas spp. and in total soluble fractions of the Arth robacter sp. A monomeric 19-kDa non-haem iron hydroxylamine-cytochrome c oxidoreductase was purified from the Pseudomonas species and shown to be similar to hydroxylamine-cytochrome c oxidoreductase of Paracocc us denitrificans.
