N2O production, a widespread trait in fungi [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractN2O is a powerful greenhouse gas contributing both to global warming and ozone depletion. While fungi have been identified as a putative source of N2O, little is known about their production of this greenhouse gas. Here we investigated the N2O-producing ability of a collection of 207 fungal isolates.
