SUMMARY The rate of adaptation of the enzyme nitrate reductase of Ps. aeruginosa increased sharply to a peak 12–14 hours after the stationary growth phase commenced. The rate later returned to the initial value. No similar increase in the adaptation rate for the nitrate reducing enzyme system as a whole was observed.
