The nitrous oxide reductase activity of P. denitrificans can be conveniently measured using an electrochemical method for determining N2O. Introduction of this procedure allowed demonstration that N2O reductase activity is reversibly inhibited by oxygen; antimycin strongly inhibits electron flow to N2O and that this inhibition is bypassed by tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine; and that ascorbate plus tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, presumably by donating electrons to cytochrome c, is an effective reductant for nitrous oxide reductase. In the presence of the nitrous oxide reductase inhibitor, acetylene, N2O is promptly produced from nitrite, consistent with the product of nitrite reductase being N2O.
