Garden by gardeners in many ways. The three main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Gardeners produce carbon dioxide directly by overcultivating soil and destroying soil carbon, by burning garden 'waste' on bonfires, by using power tools which burn fossil fuel or use electricity generated by fossil fuels, and by using peat. Gardeners produce methane by compacting the soil and making it anaerobic, and by allowing their compost heaps to become compacted and anaerobic. Gardeners produce nitrous oxide by applying excess nitrogen fertiliser when plants are not actively growing so that the nitrogen in the fertiliser is converted
Nitrous-oxide reductase competent unit. The Cu center can undergo a one-electron redox change and hence has a function similar to that in the well-known aa-type cytochrome "c" oxidases () where it serves to receive an electron from soluble cytochromes "c". Acetylene is the most specific inhibitor of nitrous-oxide reductase. Other inhibitors include azide anion, thiocyanate, carbon monoxide, iodide, and cyanide. Nitrous-oxide reductase In enzymology, a nitrous oxide reductase also known as nitrogen:acceptor oxidoreductase (NO-forming) is an enzyme that catalyzes the final step in bacterial denitrification, the reduction of nitrous oxide to dinitrogen. It plays a critical role in preventing release of a
