“…The denitrifying system coupled with the mitochondrial electron transport chain facilitates anaerobic respiration associated with ATP synthesis under hypoxia conditions. Nitrite reductases located in the intermembrane space of the fungal mitochondria have been shown to reduce NO 2 - to NO in a NADP-dependent manner ( Röszer, 2012 ). A dissimilatory nitrite reductase was found in phytopathogens Fusarium oxysporum and Cylindrocarpon tonkinense as well as in a potentially pathogenic for humans yeast Fellomyces fuzhouensis ( Abraham et al, 1993 ; Kobayashi and Shoun, 1995 ; Kobayashi et al, 1996 ; Uchimura et al, 2002 ).…”

“…As suggested by Röszer (2012) , the oxidative route of NO formation might be dominant in pathogen units under aerobic conditions and localized in the cytoplasm, whereas enzymes responsible for NO production under hypoxia or anoxia could involve mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase and mitochondrial nitrite reductase.…”

In the course of evolutionary changes pathogens have developed many invasion strategies, to which the host organisms responded with a broad range of defense reactions involving endogenous signaling molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO). There is evidence that pathogenic microorganisms, including two most important groups of eukaryotic plant pathogens, also acquired the ability to synthesize NO via non-unequivocally defined oxidative and/or reductive routes. Although the both kingdoms Chromista and Fungi are remarkably diverse, the experimental data clearly indicate that pathogen-derived NO is an important regulatory molecule controlling not only developmental processes, but also pathogen virulence and its survival in the host. An active control of mitigation or aggravation of nitrosative stress within host cells seems to be a key determinant for the successful invasion of plant pathogens representing different lifestyles and an effective mode of dispersion in various environmental niches.
