aerobic ammonia oxidation to nitrite via pyruvic oxime

name: aerobic ammonia oxidation to nitrite via pyruvic oxime
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The metabolic process in which ammonia (NH3) is oxidized to nitrite (NO2) in the presence of oxygen. Hydroxylamine is produced enzymatically, and, in the presence of pyruvate, forms pyruvic oxime in a spontaneous, non-enzymatic reaction; pyruvic oxime is then converted to nitrite.
