Abstract
The nitrate and nitrite reduction test determines the ability of bacteria to produce the enzyme nitrate reductase and reduce nitrate and/or nitrite. The nitrate and nitrite test is useful for the identification of bacteria and separating members of the family Enterobacteriaceae from other gram-negative bacilli.
