Functional Characterization of the FNT Family Nitrite Transporter of Marine Picocyanobacteria

Many of the cyanobacterial species found in marine and saline environments have a gene encoding a putative nitrite transporter of the formate/nitrite transporter (FNT) family. The presumed function of the gene (designated nitM) was confirmed by functional expression of the gene from the coastal mari...
