nitrite + ferrocytochrome c + H+ nitrite is the preferred substrate. ccNiR is encoded by gene nrfA performing nitrite reduction with formate. Sulfite and nitrite both provide a pair of electrons to form the coordinative bond to the Fe(III) active site of the enzyme Wolinella succinogenes NH3 + H2O + ferricytochrome c

sulfite + 6 ferrocytochrome c + 6 H+ sulfite and nitrite both provide a pair of electrons to form the coordinative bond to the Fe(III) active site of the enzyme, and the oxygen atoms of sulfite are found to interact with the three active site protein residues conserved within the enzyme family, binding mode of sulfite to the catalytic heme center of ccNiR, overview Wolinella succinogenes H2S + 3 H2O + 6 ferricytochrome c
