Abstrakt: Nitrate reductase from the haloalkalophilic denitrifying bacterium Halomonas sp. Strain AGJ 1-3 was isolated and purified to homogeneity. The isolated enzyme belongs to a novel family of molybdenum-free nitrate reductases. It presents as a 130–140 kD monomeric protein with specific activity of 250 µmol/min per mg protein. The enzyme reduces not only nitrate, but also other anions, thus showing polyoxoanion reductase activity. Enzyme activity was maximal at pH 7.0 and 70–80°C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
