Importance of denitrifiers lacking the genes encoding the nitrous oxide reductase for N2O emissions from soil
Analyses of the complete genomes of sequenced denitrifying bacteria revealed that approximately 1/3 have a truncated denitrification pathway, lacking the nosZ gene encoding the nitrous oxide reductase. We investigated whether the number of denitrifiers lacking the genetic ability to synthesize the nitrous oxide reductase in soils is important for the proportion of N2O emitted by denitrification. Serial dilutions of the denitrifying strain Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 lacking the nosZ gene were inoculated into three different soils to modify the proportion of denitrifiers having the nitrous oxide reductase genes. The potential denitrification and N2O emissions increased when the size of ino…
Effects of nitrogen fertilization on soil N2O reducing bacteria and their importance for mitigating N2O emissions
EABIOmECT3; Arable soils are a major source of nitrous oxide (N2O). The only known sink in Earth’s biosphere is the reduction of N2O to N2 via the N2O reductase encoded by the nosZ gene, identified as nosZ clade I and II. The nosZI gene is mainly found among denitrifying bacteria, whereas >50% of microorganisms with nosZII lack other denitrification genes. The abundance and phylogenetic diversity of nosZII was previously shown to correlate with a soils N2O sink capacity. To provide a proof of principle, we manipulated 11 indigenous soil microbial communities by increasing the abundance of a non-denitrifying N2O-reducing strain capable of growth with N2O as the only electron acceptor. Conseq…
Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)
Seuls les 100 premiers auteurs dont les auteurs INRA ont été entrés dans la notice. La liste complète des auteurs et de leurs affiliations est accessible sur la publication.; International audience; In 2008 we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, research on this topic has continued to accelerate, and many new scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Accordingly, it is important to update these guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Various reviews have described the range of assays that have been used for this purpose. Nevertheless, there continues…
