RESUMO

Nitrite inhibited active transport of proline in Escherichia coli but not group translocation of sugar via the phosphoenolpyruvate:phosphotransferase system. These results were consistent with previous results that nitrite inhibits active transport, oxygen uptake, and oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic bacteria. Nitrite also inhibited aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) from E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis, and rabbit muscle. Thus, these various data showed that nitrite has more than one site of attack in the bacterial cell. These data also indicated that nitrite is inhibitory to a wide range of physiological types of bacteria.
