High impact information on npr1

NADH peroxidase activity (involved in degrading H(2)O(2)) increased significantly (P = 0.05) in the presence of 0.75 mM hydrogen peroxide (sublethal level) in all five strains of lactobacilli tested but did not persist in cells regrown in the absence of H(2)O(2) [1].
Per mol O2 2mol of NADH were consumed indicating that O2 was reduced to H2O; reduction proceeded via H2O2 involving a NADH oxidase and a NADH peroxidase [2].
