Copper-containing nitrite reductases (CuNiRs), encoded by <i>nirK</i> gene, are found in all kingdoms of life with only 5% of CuNiR denitrifiers having two or more copies of <i>nirK</i> Recently, we have identified two copies of <i>nirK</i> genes in several α-proteobacteria of the order Rhizobiales including <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> sp. ORS 375, encoding a four-domain heme-CuNiR and the usual two-domain CuNiR (<i>Br</i> <sup>2D</sup>NiR). Compared with two of the best-studied two-domain CuNiRs repr ...[more]
