Some bacteria can use nitrate as an electron acceptor instead of oxygen, reducing it to nitrite. This requires an enzyme called nitrate reductase. The reduction and oxidation redox equations I am using are: NO3- +2H+ +2e- ---> NO2- + H2O NAD+ + 2H+ +2e- ---> NADH + H+ I calculated the Gibbs free energy change under standard state conditions for the oxidation of NADH by nitrate to be -144.75 kJ/mol. Please use the value to help solve part a. Please...
Questions: After adding Nitrate Reagent A and B, there was no red color change. You then added a pinch of zinc powder with a formation of a red color. What category of nitrate reduction, would this microbe be? Explain how this red color change occurred? Denitrification part of the nitrogen cycle. Some microbes use this pathway anaerobically to convert nitrates (NO3- ) to nitrogen (N2) gas. Other bacteria in anaerobic conditions, use what is called a Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to...
