ENIGMA researchers at University of Georgia developed and published a rapid high-throughput assay for whole-cell nitrite reductase activity. Such activity assays will be key for future ENIGMA endeavors to relate biological activities of individual microorganisms and their communities to the environment.
- A rapid high-throughput assay was constructed to measure whole cell nitrite reductase activity.
- This detailed procedure can be adapted to investigate nitrate and nitrite reduction in ENIGMA relevant strains and communities.
