Abstract
In shaking culture, nitrate reductase activity in the cell-free extrac ts of Bacillus licheniformis increased with the addition of NH4Cl to t he medium containing NaNO3 as a single nitrogen source, where amounts of nitrogen sources were sufficient for cell growth. This increase of nitrate reductase activity therefore suggests that the activity is not for nitrate assimilation but for other physiological functions contai ning a dissimilatory nitrate reduction.
