Nitrous oxide (NO), also known as laughing gas, has a euphoric effect and is becoming increasingly popular as a recreational inhalant drug. Deaths caused by recreational nitrous oxide abuse are rare, but may still occur. Although some methods for the quantification of NO by GC-MS have been reported, elimination of carbon dioxide interference and the choice of a suitable internal standard remain current limitations to accurate NO quantification.

The periplasmic (NAP) and membrane-associated (Nar) nitrate reductases of Paracoccus denitrificans are responsible for nitrate reduction under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. Expression of NAP is elevated in cells grown on a relatively reduced carbon and energy source (such as butyrate); it is believed that NAP contributes to redox homeostasis by coupling nitrate reduction to the disposal of excess reducing equivalents. Here, we show that deletion of either (one of two homologs in the P.
