Agricultural soil is the primary N2O sink limiting the emission of N2O gas into the atmosphere. Although Gemmatimonadetes bacteria are abundant in agricultural soils, limited information is currently available on N2O reduction by Gemmatimonadetes bacteria. Therefore, the effects of pH and temperature on N2O reduction activities and affinity constants for N2O reduction were examined by performing batch experiments using an isolate of Gemmatimonadetes bacteria, Gemmatimonas aurantiaca (NBRC100505T). G. aurantiaca reduced N2O at pH 5–9 and 4–50°C, with the highest activity being observed at pH 7 and 30°C. The affinity constant of G. aurantiaca cells for N2O was 4.4‍ ‍μM. The abundance and diversity of the Gemmatimonadetes 16S rRNA gene and nosZ encoding nitrous oxide reductase in agricultural soil samples were also investigated by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and amplicon sequencing ana­lyses. Four N2O-reducing agricultural soil samples were assessed, and the copy numbers of the Gemmatimonadetes 16S rRNA gene (clades G1 and G3), nosZ DNA, and nosZ mRNA were 8.62–9.65×108, 5.35–7.15×108, and 2.23–4.31×109 copies (g dry soil)–1, respectively. The abundance of the nosZ mRNA of Gemmatimonadetes bacteria and OTU91, OUT332, and OTU122 correlated with the N2O reduction rates of the soil samples tested, suggesting N2O reduction by Gemmatimonadetes bacteria. Gemmatimonadetes 16S rRNA gene reads affiliated with OTU4572 and OTU3759 were predominant among the soil samples examined, and these Gemmatimonadetes OTUs have been identified in various types of soil samples.

In order to understand the relationships between understory bamboo and soil properties, we compared microbial community structures in the soil of a Betula ermanii boreal forest with Sasa kurilensis present and removed using high-throughput DNA sequencing. The presence of understory S. kurilensis strongly affected soil properties, including total carbon, total nitrogen, nitrate, and the C:N ratio as well as relative soil moisture. Marked differences were also noted in fungal and bacterial communities between plots. The relative abundance of the fungal phylum Ascomycota was 13.9% in the Sasa-intact plot and only 0.54% in the Sasa-removed plot. Among the Ascomycota fungi identified, the most prevalent were members of the family Pezizaceae. We found that the abundance of Pezizaceae, known to act as mycorrhizal fungi, was related to the amount of total carbon in the Sasa-intact plot. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria was significantly higher, whereas those of Planctomycetes and Actinobacteria were lower in the Sasa-intact plot than in the Sasa-removed plot. Furthermore, the results obtained suggest that some species of the phylum Planctomycetes are more likely to occur in the presence of S. kurilensis. Collectively, these results indicate that the presence of S. kurilensis affects microbial communities and soil properties in a B. ermanii boreal forest.
