Ammonia or Ammonium Ion as Substrate for Oxidation by Nitrosomonas europaea Cells and Extracts
Year: 1974
Type: article
Abstract: The effect of pH on the K(m) values for ammonia was studied in its oxidation by Nitrosomonas cells and cell-free extracts. The K(m) values decreased markedly with increasing pH, suggesting (NH(3)) rather than (NH(4) (+)) as the actual substrate for oxidation.
