The Sequence of a Novel Nitrate Reductase (NR2) with a 2/2 Hemoglobin N (trHbN) Domain That Catalyzes the Enzymatic Reduction of Nitric Oxide to Nitrate and Nitrite

Detailed Technology Description

The invention discloses a full genesequence for the novel nitrate reductase NR2, and identifies the composition ofits gene variants. The mechanism of action of NR2 is shown to be a novel methodfor the detoxification of nitric oxide. This process is done with greaterefficiency and in a more environmentally friendly manner than previous methodsfor nitric oxide removal, and can function in more favorable temperature andoxygen concentration conditions. Moreover, the technology makes possibledrastic cost improvements to algal biofuel production. Once nitric oxide hasbeen removed from a flue gas, for example, the carbon dioxide still remainingcan be used as a carbon source for algal biomass growth, and the nitrate andnitrite byproducts can be supplied to the biomass as a free nitrogen source.
