Nitrate respiration in the actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor

Biochem Soc Trans. 2005 Feb;33(Pt 1):210-2. doi: 10.1042/BST0330210.

Abstract

Streptomyces coelicolor is an obligate aerobic, filamentous soil-dwelling bacterium. Remarkably, the genome of S. coelicolor has three copies of the narGHJI operon that encodes respiratory nitrate reductase. This review summarizes our current views on the requirements for multiple nitrate reductases in S. coelicolor.
