The oxygen-sensitive nitroreductases do not cause net reduction of nitro compounds under aerobic conditions because they catalyze univalent reduction and the resultant nitro radical anions are autoxidizable. The oxygen-insensitive nitroreductases, in contrast, catalyze divalent reduction of nitro compounds to stable products (12, 15, 16). Hence, wh...
