sphagnum/reductase

Present study was undertaken as an attempt to study the effect of pollutants on biological responses of Sphagnum growing at Kainchi, Kumaon hills (Uttranchal). Sphagnum plants of almost identical size, collected from the marked sites of Kainchi in different seasons viz., monsoon, winter, summer and

Using a culture-based nitrous oxide (N2O) emission assay, three active N2O emitters were isolated from Sphagnum fuscum leaves and all identified as members of Burkholderia. These isolates showed N2O emission in the medium supplemented with [Formula: see text] but not with [Formula: see text], and

Over the years, the wetlands covered by Sphagnum in Bibai, Japan have been turning into areas of aridity, resulting in an invasion of Sasa into the bogs. Yet little is known about the methane-cycling microorganisms in such environments. In this study, the methanotrophic, methanogenic, and archaeal

The ability of ombrotrophic Sphagnum species to immobilise inorganic nitrogen deposited from the atmosphere was investigated in a series of simple lysimeter experiments. In an unpolluted mire, Sphagnum fuscum mats retained all the nitrogen deposited to them in natural precipitation events. Sphagnum

Acidic wetlands are global sources of the atmospheric greenhouse gases methane (CH(4)), and nitrous oxide (N(2)O). Consumption of both atmospheric gases has been observed in various acidic wetlands, but information on the microbial mechanisms underlying these phenomena is scarce. A substantial

Nitrogen-fixing bacterial strain, designated B2^T, was isolated from methane-oxidation enrichment originating from a Sphagnum-dominated raised peatland in Tver region, Russia, and its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic characteristics were investigated. Cells of isolate were
