Nitrate synthesis in the germfree and conventional rat

LC Green, Tannenbaum SR, and P Goldman

Metabolic balance studies show that germfree and conventional Sprague-Dawley rats synthesize nitrate. Equivalent results for germfree and conventional rats eliminate the microflora as obligatory components of nitrate production. Nitrate synthesis appears to be a mammalian process.
