- Despite the fact that fungi lack this gene, they can execute denitrification and co-denitrification in a variety of soils by utilising the nitric oxide reductase cytochrome p450nor and Nirk genes.As a result, fungi produce N2O as an end product of denitrification rather than Nitrogen as bacteria do.Thus, denitrification and co-denitrification, dominated by soil fungi, result in the release of organic and inorganic nitrogen to the atmosphere in the form of nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas, which...

In this chapter, the roles of fungi in the global N-cycle through heterotrophic nitrification and denitrification, including co-denitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction and ammonia fermentation reactions, are addressed in both the free life and symbiosis lifestyles.
The transformation of nitrogen into its many oxidation states is key to productivity in the biosphere and is highly dependent on the activities of a diverse assemblage of microorganisms, such as...
Like other microbes, fungi form different symbiotic relationship with plants in which they get carbon inputs from plants in return of nitrogenous and other nutrients. This chapter explains the role of fungi in nitrogen cycle and explores their molecular mechanism.

Introduction. Fungi are adapted to a diverse array of freshwater ecosystems. In streams and rivers, flowing water provides a mechanism for downstream dispersal of fungal propagules. The dominant group of fungi in these habitats, aquatic hyphomycetes, have conidia that are morphologically adapted (tetraradiate and sigmoid) for attachment to ...
Jan 7, 2008 · Research has revealed that a greater diversity of microorganisms is involved in the nitrogen cycle than previously understood. It is becoming clear that denitrifying fungi, nitrifying archaea, anammox bacteria, aerobic denitrifying bacteria and heterotrophic nitrifying microorganisms are key players in the nitrogen cycle.
