Nitrosomonas europaea cytochrome P460 is a direct link between nitrification and nitrous oxide emission

Journal Article Caranto, Jonathan D. ; Vilbert, Avery C. ; Lancaster, Kyle M. - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) are major contributors to the emission of nitrous oxide (N₂O). It has been proposed that N₂O is produced by reduction of NO. Here, we report that the enzyme cytochrome (cyt) P460 from the AOB Nitrosomonas europaea converts hydroxylamine (NH₂OH) quantitatively to N₂O under anaerobic conditions. Previous literature reported that this enzyme oxidizes NH₂OH to nitrite (NO^–₂) under aerobic conditions. Although we observe NO^–₂ formation under aerobic conditions, its concentration is not stoichiometric with the NH₂OH concentration. By contrast, under anaerobic conditions, the enzyme uses 4 oxidizing equivalents (eq) to convert 2 eq of NH₂OH to N₂O.more »« less

Nitric oxide is an obligate bacterial nitrification intermediate produced by hydroxylamine oxidoreductase

Journal Article Caranto, Jonathan D. ; Lancaster, Kyle M. - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Ammonia (NH₃)-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) emit substantial amounts of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N₂O), both of which contribute to the harmful environmental side effects of large-scale agriculture. The currently accepted model for AOB metabolism involves NH₃ oxidation to nitrite (NO₂^–) via a single obligate intermediate, hydroxylamine (NH₂OH). Within this model, the multiheme enzyme hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) catalyzes the four-electron oxidation of NH₂OH to NO₂^–. In this paper, we provide evidence that HAO oxidizes NH₂OH by only three electrons to NO under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. NO₂^– observed in HAO activity assays is a nonenzymatic product resulting from themore »« less

Intra‐ and inter‐annual variability of nitrification in the rhizosphere of field‐grown bioenergy sorghum

Journal Article Burnham, Mark B. ; Simon, Sandra J. ; Lee, DoKyoung ; ... - Global Change Biology. Bioenergy

Abstract Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) and plant–microbe competition for ammonium (NH ₄ ⁺ ) by sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) have the potential to suppress nitrification, reducing nitrate (NO ₃ ⁻ ) and nitrous oxide (N ₂ O) production for more sustainable bioenergy feedstock production. However, it is unknown how variability in environmental factors, field management, and plant growth affect the suppression of nitrification. We conducted a field trial with four genotypes of energy sorghum and four fertilization rates in central Illinois, USA, and measured soil N pools, potential nitrification and denitrification rates, and microbial community composition in bulkmore »« less

hapter 10 - Challenges and Opportunities for the Mobilisation of Forest Bioenergy in the Boreal and Temperate Biomes. In the book Mobilisation of Forest Bioenergy in the Boreal and Temperate Biomes.

Book Thiffault, E. ; Berndes, G. ; Lamers, P.

This book identifies opportunities and challenges for the mobilisation of sustainable forest biomass from supply chains operating in the boreal and temperate biomes. The respective feedstock plays a critical role in meeting global deployment levels for bioenergy, which in turn are necessary to stabilize global greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric carbon levels. Many aspects of bioenergy supply chains (e.g., logistics and trade, supply chain variability, technology learning and transfer, governance, organizational structures) present both challenges and opportunities, and relate to all three dimensions of sustainability. Energy and forest systems can be integrated across landscapes and organizations to establish attractive solutionsmore »« less
Bioenergy Underground: Challenges and opportunities for phenotyping roots and the microbiome for sustainable bioenergy crop production

Journal Article York, Larry M. ; Cumming, Jonathan R. ; Trusiak, Adrianna ; ... - Plant Phenome Journal

Bioenergy production often focuses on the aboveground feedstock production for conversion to fuel and other materials. However, the belowground component is crucial for soil carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas fluxes, and ecosystem function. Roots maximize feedstock production on marginal lands by acquiring soil resources and mediating soil ecosystem processes through interactions with the microbial community. This belowground world is challenging to observe and quantify; however, there are unprecedented opportunities using current methodologies to bring roots, microbes, and soil into focus. These opportunities allow not only breeding for increased feedstock production but breeding for increased soil health and carbon sequestration as well.more »« less
