Abstract
THE occurrence of hydroxylamine as an intermediate of the enzymatic reduction NO3− → NH3 or oxidation NH3 → NO3− has recently interested many biochemists1. Thus certain authors have been able to confirm the formation of this compound in the process of the oxidation or reduction of nitrogen compounds2,3.
