Physiological Characterization and Molecular Identification of Denitrifying Bacteria Prosessing Nitrous Oxide High Reduction Activity Isolated from Rice Soils

Abstract

Rice fields are one of the main source of high nitrous oxide N2O emission. Soil denitrifiers processing high N2O reduction activity are important for controlling N2O emission. Nitrous oxide reduction is the last step of denitrification process. The aims of this study were to characterize and to identify dentrifiying bacteria isolated from rice soils processing high activity of N2O reductions.
