Nitrous Oxide Nitrification and Denitrification
The isotopic signatures of N and O in N2O emitted from tropical soils vary both spatially and temporally, leading to large uncertainty in the overall tropical source signature and thereby limiting the utility of isotopes in constraining the global N2O budget. Determining the reasons for spatial and temporal variations in isotope signatures requires that we know the isotope enrichment factors fo...
متن کاملSubstrate oxidation and nitrous oxide utilization in denitrification.
It is generally assumed that during denitrification bacteria oxidize organic substances completely to carbon dioxide concomitant with the reduction of nitrate or nitrite to nitrogen and nitrous oxide. This assumption is based upon the early experiments of Gayon and Dupetit (1886) which demonstrated that the ratio of carbon dioxide to nitrogen in denitrifying cultures corresponded to the theoret...
متن کاملNitrous oxide emission from denitrification in stream and river networks.
Nitrous oxide (N(2)O) is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) loading to river networks is a potentially important source of N(2)O via microbial denitrification that converts N to N(2)O and dinitrogen (N(2)). The fraction of denitrified N that escapes as N(2)O rather than N(2) (i.e., the N(2)O yield) is an imp...
متن کاملKinetic explanation for accumulation of nitrite, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide during bacterial denitrification.
The kinetics of denitrification and the causes of nitrite and nitrous oxide accumulation were examined in resting cell suspensions of three denitrifiers. An Alcaligenes species and a Pseudomonas fluorescens isolate characteristically accumulated nitrite when reducing nitrate; a Flavobacterium isolate did not. Nitrate did not inhibit nitrite reduction in cultures grown with tungstate to prevent ...
متن کاملProduction of nitric oxide and nitrous oxide during denitrification by Corynebacterium nephridii.
Resting cells of Corynebacterium nephridii reduce nitrate, nitrite, and nitric oxide to nitrous oxide under anaerobic conditions. Nitrous oxide production from nitrite was optimal from pH 7.0 to 7.4. The stoichiometry of nitrous oxide production from nitrite was 99% of the theoretical-two moles of nitrite was used for each mole of nitrous oxide detected. Hydroxylamine increases gas evolution fr...
