The activities of the nitrate reductase enzyme of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. bovis, and of BCG were assayed with and without addition of electron donors. M. tuberculosis always reduced nitrate; M. bovis did so only in the presence of electron donors, and BCG did not show enzymatic activity.
对结核分枝杆菌、牛分枝杆菌和卡介苗的硝酸还原酶活性进行了测定,测定时分别添加和不添加电子供体。结核分枝杆菌总是能还原硝酸盐;牛分枝杆菌只有在存在电子供体时才能还原硝酸盐,而卡介苗未表现出酶活性。
