Although denitrification or nitrate respiration has been found among a few eukaryotes, its phylogenetic relationship with the bacterial system remains unclear because orthologous genes involved in the bacterial denitrification system were not identified in these eukaryotes. In this study, we isolated a gene from the denitrifying fungus Fusarium oxysporum that is homologous to the bacterial nirK gene responsible for encoding copper-containing nitrite reductase (NirK). Characterization of the gene ...[more]
