Transcriptome of a Nitrosomonas europaea mutant with a disrupted nitrite reductase gene (nirK)

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2006 Jun;72(6):4450-4. doi: 10.1128/AEM.02958-05.

Abstract

Global gene expression was compared between the Nitrosomonas europaea wild type and a nitrite reductase-deficient mutant using a genomic microarray. Forty-one genes were differentially regulated between the wild type and the nirK mutant, including the nirK operon, genes for cytochrome c oxidase, and seven iron uptake genes. Relationships of differentially regulated genes to the nirK mutant phenotype are discussed.
