Abstract

Seventy strains of lactic acid bacteria were investigated for nitrite reductase activity. Two types of this activity were detected. Type I was found in Lactobacillus plantarum, L. pentosus and Pediococcus pentosaceus. This activity is heme-dependent with ammonia as the sole product. Type II mechanism is heme-independent and reduces nitrite to NO and N₂O.
