Abstract

The combination of different concentration of substrate (0.025M, 0.05M, 0.10M, 0.15M, 0.20M and 0.25M, KNO3) with different pH of buffer (0.10 M and 0.20 M, KH2PO4 of the pH 6.5, 7.0, 7.2, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8) solution were tried for the nitrate reductase activity of Albizia procera. Maximum nitrate reductase activity was observed in the combination of buffer solution of 0.10M KH2PO4 having pH 7.5 and substrate solution of the concentration 0.20M.
