Description
Jameil Magomnang and co-authors describe a newly isolated bacterium that eats a potent greenhouse gas, in a 2026 study. Nitrous oxide warms the planet far more strongly than carbon dioxide and also harms the ozone layer. Some microbes turn it into harmless nitrogen gas. The strain came from sludge used to treat landfill runoff water.
Full genome reading revealed one main chromosome and a small plasmid, both near complete. The strain carries the full gene set for stepwise nitrogen conversion, including the key final-step gene. It also holds genes for making a compound that guards against salt stress. In lab tests it cut nitrous oxide without any added carbon food. Such strains could help clean gas from waste sites.
