Abstract

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.
