Selective enrichment clade II N2O reducers
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas with known cytotoxic effects. We studied the impact of N2O on the assembly of N2O respiring communities. Environmental conditions selecting for organisms encoding for clade II NosZ are discussed. Genome-resolved metagenomics and shotgun metaproteomics were combined to identify the taxonomy, metabolic potential, and actual function of the steady-state community members.
