Nitrosomonas europaea is a Gram-negative obligate chemolithoautotroph,
which derives all its energy and reductant for growth from the aerobic oxidation
of ammonia to nitrite. The bacterium participates in the biogeochemical Nitrogen
cycle in the process of nitrification (Ref.1 & 2). Glutathione is a
sulfhydryl (-SH) antioxidant, antitoxin, and enzyme cofactor. It is ubiquitous
in all organisms including microorganisms like N. europaea. It is a
tripeptide composed of Glutamate, Cysteine and Glycine, and has numerous
important functions within cells. Being water soluble, it is found mainly in the
cell cytosol and other aqueous phases of the living system. It is
homeostatically controlled, both inside the cell and outside and often attains
millimolar levels inside cells, which makes it one of the [...] |
