| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel enrichment device by a gas-permeable membrane was developed to acquire highly-effective nitrous oxide (N2O)-reducing bacteria able to reduce N2O, highly-potent greenhouse gas, into nitrogen gas. Long-term operation of the enrichment device revealed that selective enrichment of nosZ clade II type N2O-reducing bacteria, newly discovered N2O reducers, is feasible by the device. Especially, species in the genus Dechloromonas of the family Rhodocyclaceae was found predominant in the device. Furthermore, the enriched species in the device was successfully and effectively isolated. The isolated species is phylogenetically analogous to the predominant species enriched in the device. Biokinetic analysis illuminated that the isolated Dechloromonas species, belonging to nosZ clade II type, has higher affinity for N2O than the previously found N2O reducing bacteria harboring nosZ clade I.
