Nitrate reductase activity in the diatom Biddulphia longicruris: characterization and daily oscillation
Nitrate reductase (NR) activity was studied in the marine diatom Biddulphia longicruris. During 24 hours of sampling, NR activity was found during day time and in the transition day-night. Nitrite anions, the product of nitrate reduction, was released by the cells at the times NR was active, and acc...
