Abstract
IN 1938, Yamagata suggested that the nitrate reductase which reduces nitrate to nitrite participates in some bacterial respiration1. Recently, the mechanism of nitrate reductase and nitrate respiration has been investigated in bacteria and rat liver by Egami and his group2, but frog liver was found not to contain this enzyme3.
