Abstract

The strong inhibition by nitrate of nitrite utilization in the acidophilic alga Cyanidium caldarium indicated that nitrite uptake could also occur through the high affinity nitrate uptake system, besides the free diffusion of HNO2. In the presence of ammonium, which inhibited nitrite assimilation, nitrite transport through the high affinity nitrate uptake carrier was not affected.
