Article Synopsis
- Nitrous oxide (NO) is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and ozone depletion, with lakes being a significant source of its release due to an imbalance in sources and sinks.
- Researchers investigated the potential for NO reduction in Lake Taihu's sediments, focusing on the roles of typical and atypical NO-reducing bacteria, revealing their abundance and ecological importance through various experimental methods.
- The study showed variable NO reduction rates influenced by the nosZ gene ratio and environmental factors, identifying specific bacterial genera as key players in mitigating NO emissions in eutrophic lake sediments.
Cyanobacteria and their toxins widely exist in freshwater ecosystems. Microcystis aeruginosa is among dominant bloom-forming cyanobacteria. Water temperature is a key factor influencing the life cycle of M.
