Three gastric isolates of Neisseria subflava nitrosated 2,3‐diaminonaphthalene to a fluorescent triazole product. The bacterial nitrosation rate was optimal at pH 7.5 with glucose as the electron donor for the reduction of nitrite to a nitrosating species. There was a delay period of 6 rnin with nitrite concentrations lower than 20 mmol/l before nitrosation was detected.
