| - | Nitrate reductase plays a strong role in the nitrogen cycle. It fixes nitrate to nitrite so it can be more easily converted to nitrogen gas for the atmosphere. Nitrate reduction can also cause increases in the levels of phosphate in groundwater. <ref>doi:10.1007/s10533-009-9387-8</ref> | + | Nitrate reductase plays a strong role in the nitrogen cycle.
