Denitrification–a key process in the global nitrogen cycle and main source of the
greenhouse gas N 2 O–is intricately controlled by O 2. While the transition from aerobic …

Temperature responses of denitrifying microbes likely play a governing role in the
production and consumption of N 2 O. We investigated temperature effects on denitrifier …

Denitrification allows sustained respiratory metabolism during periods of anoxia, an
advantage in soils with frequent anoxic spells. However, the gains may be more than …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas and the predominant ozone depleting
substance. The only enzyme known to reduce N2O is the nitrous oxide reductase, encoded …

Agricultural management is essential for achieving optimum crop production and
maintaining soil quality. Soil microorganisms are responsible for nutrient cycling and are an …

Soil denitrification produces the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and by further
reduction of N 2 O, the harmless inert gas N 2. N 2 O emission is determined by rate and …

Microorganisms involved in the nitrogen (N)-cycle in soils are the major drivers of N-
transformation changes and the main source of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most important greenhouse gas after CO2 and methane, and
it serves as an important destructor of the ozone layer. Global N2O emissions are rising, and …

Soil pH is a strong regulator for activity as well as for size and composition of denitrifier
communities. Low pH not only lowers overall denitrification rates but also influences …

Soil pH is a key controller of denitrification. We analysed the metagenomics/transcriptomics
and phenomics of two soils from a long-term liming experiment, SoilN (pH 6.8) and un-limed …
