Isoprene Production by Sphagnum Moss Is Balanced by Microbial Uptake, as Revealed by Selective Inhibitors [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2025.Sphagnum moss, typical of northern peatlands, produces a range of volatile organic compounds, principally the climate‐active compound, isoprene, which serves as a carbon source for specialist isoprene‐consuming microbes. Using an inhibitor of microbial isoprene uptake, we quantify gross isoprene production by the moss and show that the vast majority of
