| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aerobic soil is a sink of atmospheric CH4. Ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) can oxidize CH4, but CH4 is mostly oxidized by methane monooxygenase (MMO), and CH4 oxidation by AMO is generally negligible in the soil. Akiyama et al. (2014) reported that the AMOs of AOB and AOA may have more important roles than those previously considered during CH4 oxidation in agricultural soils treated with N fertilizers. Thus we investigated the importance of AMO on CH4 oxidation in agricultural soils. Results showed that there were no relationship between CH4 uptake rate and AOB and AOA AMO gene copy numbers nor ammonia oxidation potential in soils from long-term chemical and organic fertilizer application fields and also in 4 different kinds of soils. Therefore we concluded AMO contribution for CH4 oxidation was miner in the investigated soils.
