Genetic basis for nitrate resistance in Desulfovibrio strains

Genetic basis for nitrate resistance in Desulfovibrio strains

Nitrate is an inhibitor of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). In petroleum production sites, amendments of nitrate and nitrite are used to prevent SRB production of sulfide that causes souring of oil wells. A better understanding of nitrate stress responses in the model SRB, Desulfovibrio vulgaris H...
