2 Fe(II)-[cytochrome] + nitrate + 2 H(+) = 2 Fe(III)-[cytochrome] + nitrite + H2O
nitrate(out) + ATP + H2O = nitrate(in) + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
nitrite + NAD(+) + H2O = nitrate + NADH + H(+)
nitrite + NADP(+) + H2O = nitrate + NADPH + H(+)
2 nitric oxide + NADPH + 2 O2 = 2 nitrate + NADP(+) + H(+)
