“…The group A includes the major nitroreductase NfsA of Escherichia coli (Zenno et al , 1996a) and the homologous proteins SnrA of Salmonella typhimurium (Nokhbeh et al , 2002), PnrA of Pseudomonas putida JLR11 (Caballero et al , 2005b) and FRP of Vibrio harveyi , an NADPH‐flavin oxidoreductase (Lei et al , 1994). The group B includes two subgroups the B 1 subfamily with the Escherichia coli minor nitroreductase NfsB (Zenno et al , 1996b), the NR and RNR proteins of Enterobacter cloacae (Bryant et al , 1991; Koder et al , 2001), the classical nitroreductase Cnr of Salmonella typhimurium (Watanabe et al , 1990), the PnrB nitroreductase from P. putida JLR11 (Caballero et al , 2005b), the NAD(P)H‐flavin oxidoreductase FRaseI of Vibrio fischeri (Zenno et al , 1994), the Synechocystis DrgA quinone reductase (Matsuo et al , 1998; Takeda et al , 2007), and the major nitroreductase NprA of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus (Pérez‐Reinado et al , 2005), among other nitroreductase‐like proteins. The minor nitroreductase NprB of R. capsulatus (Pérez‐Reinado et al , 2005) and other putative uncharacterized nitroreductases of Escherichia coli and Salmonella (YdjA proteins) are included in the subfamily B 2 .…”
