Abstract excerpt
We have recently shown that commercial alfalfa inoculants (e.g., Sinorhizobium meliloti B399), which are closely related to the denitrifier model strain Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021, have conserved nitrate, nitrite, and nitric oxide reductases associated with the production of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) from nitrate but lost the N2O reductase related to the degradation of N2O to gas nitrogen. Here, we...
