Abstract
The relative contribution of fungi, bacteria, and nirS and nirK denirifiers to nitrous oxide (N2O) emission with unknown isotopic signature from dairy manure compost was examined by selective inhibition techniques. Chloramphenicol (CHP), cycloheximide (CYH), and diethyl dithiocarbamate (DDTC) were used to suppress the activity of bacteria, fungi, and nirK-possessing denitrifiers, respectively. Produced N2O were surveyed to isotopocule analysis, and its 15N site preference (SP) and δ18O values were compared. Bacteria, fungi, nirS, and nirK gene abundances were compared by qPCR. The results showed that N2O production was strongly inhibited by CHP addition in surface pile samples (82.2%) as well as in nitrite-amended core samples (98.4%), while CYH addition did not inhibit the N2O production. N2O with unknown isotopic signature (SP = 15.3-16.2‰), accompanied by δ18O (19.0-26.8‰) values which were close to bacterial denitrification, was also suppressed by CHP and DDTC addition (95.3%) indicating that nirK denitrifiers were responsible for this N2O production despite being less abundant than nirS denitrifiers. Altogether, our results suggest that bacteria are important for N2O production with different SP values both from compost surface and pile core. However, further work is required to decipher whether N2O with unknown isotopic signature is mostly due to nirK denitrifiers that are taxonomically different from the SP-characterized strains and therefore have different SP values rather than also being interwoven with the contribution of the NO-detoxifying pathway and/or of co-denitrification.
