2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome] + nitrate + 2 H(+) = 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome] + nitrite + H2O
6 Fe(III)-[cytochrome c] + NH4(+) + 2 H2O = 6 Fe(II)-[cytochrome c] + nitrite + 8 H(+)
nitric oxide + Fe(III)-[cytochrome c] + H2O = Fe(II)-[cytochrome c] + nitrite + 2 H(+)
nitrite + NAD(+) + H2O = nitrate + NADH + H(+)
6 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + NH4(+) + 2 H2O = nitrite + 6 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + 8 H(+)
