Catalysis of the reaction: ferrocytochrome + NO3- (nitrate) = ferricytochrome + NO2- (nitrite). Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which a heme group acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a hydrogen or electron acceptor. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which a heme group acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a nitrogenous group.
