Abstract
The review summarises the contemporary knowledge on occurrence. produc tion, and estimation of different microbial nitrate reductases (NR). T he main interest is focused on two basic NR types: dissimilatory and a ssimilatory NR, both playing an important role in nitrate metabolism o f bacteria. NR are putatively responsible for the presence of nitrosam ines in many food items. In the second part, quantitative and qualitat ive methods of NR estimation are compared.
