1.7.99.1 |
| Accepted name: |
hydroxylamine reductase |
| Reaction: |
NH3 + H2O + acceptor = hydroxylamine + reduced acceptor |
| Other name(s): |
hydroxylamine (acceptor) reductase; ammonia:(acceptor) oxidoreductase |
| Systematic name: |
ammonia:acceptor oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
A flavoprotein. Reduced pyocyanine, methylene blue and flavins act as donors for the reduction of hydroxylamine. May be identical to EC 1.7.2.1, nitrite reductase (NO-forming). |
