Consumption of N₂O by Flavobacterium azooxidireducens sp. nov. Isolated from Decomposing Leaf Litter of Phragmites australis (Cav.).

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms acting as sinks for the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N₂O) are gaining increasing attention in the development of strategies to control N₂O emissions. Non-denitrifying N₂O reducers are of particular interest because they can provide a real sink without contributing to N₂O release. The bacterial strain under investigation (IGB 4-14^T), isolated in a mesocosm experiment to study the litter decomposition of Phragmites australis (Cav.), is such an organism. It carries only a nos gene cluster with the sec-dependent Clade II nosZ and is able to consume significant amounts of N₂O under anoxic conditions. However, consumption activity is considerably affected by the O₂ level. The reducti
