Abstract
The O2 of water is responsible for the oxidation of nitrite in the chemoautotroph Nitrobacter agills. This process is independent of molecular O2. These results are the first experimental demonstration that water is the source of O2 in chemo-autotrophic bacteria.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
