Catalysis of the reaction: NH3 + 2 H2O + 6 ferricytochrome c = NO2(-) (nitrite) + 6 ferrocytochrome c + 7 H+. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which a nitrogenous group, excluding NH and NH2 groups, acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a cytochrome. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which a nitrogenous group, excluding NH and NH2 groups, acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a hydrogen or electron acceptor.
