Understanding The Molecular Mechanisms Involved In Nitrous Oxide Reduction By Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vent Bacteria

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the third most potent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane. It can also be oxidized by physical processes to form ozone-depleting substances. Atmospheric concentrations of […]
