Primordial retention of nitrogen by terrestrial planets and meteorites

Thermodynamic calculations of the amount of dissolved nitrogen in Fe-Ni alloy in a solar composition gas were done over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The stabilities of the nitride minerals found in meteorites, a large number of other nitrides, and ammonium aluminosilicates were also calculated in a solar gas. This thorough study indicates that equilibrium mechanisms cannot account for the nitrogen contents of the terrestrial planets and meteorites. The best available data indicate that the observed nitrogen contents of planets and meteorites are several orders of magnitude greater than the predicted nitrogen contents of condensed material in a solar gas. It is suggested that the nitrogen in meteorites was originally retained as organic compounds produced by disequilibrium mechanisms. Nitrogen retention by the terrestrial planets could be due to homogeneous accretion or to accretion of a volatile-rich veneer. However, the actual mode of nitrogen accretion cannot yet be determined.

Effect of solar proton events in 1978 and 1979 on the odd nitrogen abundance in the middle atmosphere

Daily average solar proton flux data for 1978 and 1979 are used in a proton energy degradation scheme to derive ion pair production rates and atomic nitrogen production rates. The latter are computed in a form suitable for inclusion in an atmopheric, two-dimensional, time-dependent photochemical model. Odd nitrogen distributions are computed from the model, including atomic nitrogen production from solar protons, and are compared with baseline distributions. The comparisons show that the average effect of the solar protons in 1978 and 1979 was to cause changes in odd nitrogen only above 10 mbar and at latitudes only above about 50 deg in both hemispheres. The influence of the solar proton-produced odd nitrogen on the local abundance of odd nitrogen depends primarily on the background odd nitrogen abundance as well as the altitude and season.

The evolution of nitrogen cycling

The energetics of nitrogen transformation reactions and the evolution of nitrogen cycling are examined. It is suggested that meteor impact-produced fixed nitrogen could have caused the entire reservoir of the earth's N2 to convert into fixed nitrogen at the end of accretion. The abiotic fixation rate on the early earth by lightning is estimated at about 1-3 X 10 to the 16th molecules of NO/J. It is found that biological nitrogen fixation may have evolved after the development of an aerobic atmosphere. It is shown that HNO could eventually become NO2(-) and NO3(-) after reaching the earth's surface. It is concluded that the evolutionary sequence for the biological transformation of nitrogen compounds is ammonification - denitrification - nitrification - nitrogen fixation.

Alterations in internal partitioning of carbon in soybean plants in response to nitrogen stress

Alterations in internal partitioning of carbon were evaluated in plants exposed to limited nitrogen supply. Vegetative, nonnodulated soybean plants (Glycine max (L.) Merrill, 'Ransom') were grown for 21 days with 1.0 mM NO3- and then exposed to solutions containing 1.0, 0.1, or 0.0 mM NO3- for a 25-day treatment period. In nitrogen-limited plants, there were decreases in emergence of new leaves and in the expansion rate and final area at full expansion of individual leaves. As indicated by alterations in accumulation of dry weight, a larger proportion of available carbon in the plant was partitioned to the roots with decreased availability of nitrogen. Partitioning of reduced nitrogen to the root also was increased and, in plants devoid of an external supply, considerable redistribution of reduced nitrogen from leaves to the root occurred. The general decrease in growth potential and sink strength for nutrients in leaves of nitrogen-limited plants suggested that factors other than simply availability of nitrogen likely were involved in the restriction of growth in the leaf canopy and the associated increase in carbon allocation to the roots.

The Azospirillum brasilense Core Chemotaxis Proteins CheA1 and CheA4 Link Chemotaxis Signaling with Nitrogen Metabolism

Bacterial chemotaxis affords motile bacteria the ability to navigate the environment to locate niches for growth and survival. At the molecular level, chemotaxis depends on chemoreceptor signaling arrays that interact with cytoplasmic proteins to control the direction of movement. In Azospirillum brasilense , chemotaxis is mediated by two distinct chemotaxis pathways: Che1 and Che4. Both Che1 and Che4 are critical in the A. brasilense free-living and plant-associated lifestyles. Here, we use whole-cell proteomics and metabolomics to characterize the role of chemotaxis in A. brasilense physiology. We found that mutants lacking CheA1 or CheA4 or both are affected in nonchemotaxis functions, including major changes in transcription, signaling transport, and cell metabolism. We identify specific effects of CheA1 and CheA4 on nitrogen metabolism, including nitrate assimilation and nitrogen fixation, that may depend, at least, on the transcriptional control of rpoN , which encodes RpoN, a global regulator of metabolism, including nitrogen. Consistent with proteomics, the abundance of several nitrogenous compounds (purines, pyrimidines, and amino acids) changed in the metabolomes of the chemotaxis mutants relative to the parental strain. Further, we uncover novel, and yet uncharacterized, layers of transcriptional and posttranscriptional control of nitrogen metabolism regulators. Together, our data reveal roles for CheA1 and CheA4 in linking chemotaxis and nitrogen metabolism, likely through control of global regulatory networks.

Microbially mediated nitrification improves modeled temperate forest responses to declining nitrogen deposition

As nitrogen deposition declines across the US, uncertainty remains in whether temperate forests will continue to sequester carbon. This uncertainty is amplified by ecosystem models that inaccurately capture the microbial mechanisms that drive soil carbon sequestration and nitrogen loss. Further, even soil process models that represent decomposer microbes and better capture soil carbon retention under nitrogen deposition broadly underrepresent microbial nitrogen transformations. To address this limitation, we leveraged three decades of biogeochemical cycling data from a whole-watershed nitrogen fertilization experiment to incorporate microbially-driven nitrification in the FUN-CORPSE (Fixation and Uptake of Nitrogen-Carbon, Organisms, Rhizosphere, and Protection in the Soil Environment) model. Our objectives include: 1) Reproducing key ecosystem responses to fertilization, 2) Integrating microbially-explicit nitrification in FUN-CORPSE, and 3) Assessing modeled soil C and N under projected N deposition shifts. FUN-CORPSE accurately represented soil C and streamwater N losses under ambient N deposition and captured how fertilization induced a 25 % decline in plant C cost of N acquisition, reducing decomposition and increasing soil C. Furthermore, with microbially-explicit nitrification, FUN-CORPSE captured the 100 % increase in nitrification rates and the 50 % increase in streamwater nitrate loss under N fertilization. Specifically, incorporating microbial nitrification improved modeled streamwater N leaching from R 2 = 0.01 to R 2 = 0.57. Under declining N deposition, FUN-CORPSE simulates that N losses recover more quickly than soil C pools. However, the predicted return of soil C to pre-fertilized levels suggests that additional C sequestered due to N deposition may be vulnerable to loss over the next century.

Nitrogen fixation in Pampinifervens , a new species-rich genus of Aquificaceae that inhabits a wide pH range in terrestrial hot springs

Members of the Aquificota play important roles in hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon cycles in geothermal systems as ubiquitous and abundant chemolithoautotrophs; however, their roles in the nitrogen cycle are poorly defined. Here, we show that Aquificaceae isolate T-2 T from Tengchong, China, fixes nitrogen based on growth with dinitrogen as the sole nitrogen source and incorporation of 15 N atoms when grown with 15 N 2 . We further show evidence that suggests its nitrogen fixation (nif) genes are transcribed in situ in a nearby spring. We propose the name Pampinifervens diazotrophicum gen. et sp. nov., with strain T-2 T (= JCM 35475 T = DSM 116324 T ) as the nomenclatural type. Its close relative designated Pampinifervens florentissimum sp. nov. T-8 T (= CGMC 1.5214 T = JCM 33569 T ) does not fix nitrogen but respires nitrate. Analysis of 104 metagenome-assembled genomes from 84 metagenomes allowed us to circumscribe the genus Pampinifervens and identify at least 16 sympatric Pampinifervens species that dominate the Aquificaceae populations in diverse hot springs in southwest China, with distinct species globally. Analysis of these Pampinifervens genomes revealed variable presence of nif and denitrification genes and frequent gene loss and horizontal transfer. Genes for pH homeostasis were also present in Pampinifervens genomes, with a proliferation in species from Tengchong, consistent with the wide pH growth range of both Pampinifervens isolates and the prevalence of Pampinifervens in both alkaline and acidic springs. The dynamic evolution of nif and denitrification genes, along with pH homeostasis genes, may facilitate the diversification of Pampinifervens into diverse springs with different nitrogen availability.

Optimal Design of Sustainable Ammonia-Based Food–Energy–Water Systems with Nitrogen Management

As the basis for virtually any form of nitrogen fertilizers, ammonia plays a vital role in agriculture; in addition, there has been an increased interest in its use as a carbon-free energy carrier. However, ammonia is also associated with two major environmental concerns: CO 2 emissions from the conventional production process and nitrogen pollution from the excessive use of ammonia-based fertilizers. To mitigate these environmental impacts, we develop an optimization framework for the design of a sustainable ammonia-based agricultural system that synergistically integrates the production of ammonia from renewable resources and effective measures for nitrogen management. The proposed model captures the effect of intermittency by incorporating both design and detailed operational decisions. Here, by applying a multiscale time representation that reduces the problem size and a tailored surrogate model that accurately approximates model nonlinearity, we are able to achieve optimal solutions within reasonable computation times. A computational case study is conducted using real-world data from a local farm in Morris, Minnesota, and the results indicate the trade-off between cost and nitrogen loss. Importantly, we show that practicing effective nitrogen management can significantly reduce the nitrogen loss with only a small increase in net present cost.

Increased seminal root number associated with domestication improves nitrogen and phosphorus acquisition in maize seedlings

Abstract Background and Aims Domesticated maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) generally forms between two and six seminal roots, while its wild ancestor, Mexican annual teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis), typically lacks seminal roots. Maize also produces larger seeds than teosinte, and it generally has higher growth rates as a seedling. Maize was originally domesticated in the tropical soils of southern Mexico, but it was later brought to the Mexican highlands before spreading to other parts of the continent, where it experienced different soil resource constraints. The aims of this study were to understand the impacts of increased seminal root number on seedling nitrogen and phosphorus acquisition and to model how differences in maize and teosinte phenotypes might have contributed to increased seminal root number in domesticated maize. Methods Seedling root system architectural models of a teosinte accession and a maize landrace were constructed by parameterizing the functional–structural plant model OpenSimRoot using plants grown in mesocosms. Seedling growth was simulated in a low-phosphorus environment, multiple low-nitrogen environments, and at variable planting densities. Models were also constructed to combine individual components of the maize and teosinte phenotypes. Key Results Seminal roots contributed ~35 % of the nitrogen and phosphorus acquired by maize landrace seedlings in the first 25 d after planting. Increased seminal root number improved plant nitrogen acquisition under low-nitrogen environments with varying precipitation patterns, fertilization rates, soil textures and planting densities. Models suggested that the optimal number of seminal roots for nutrient acquisition in teosinte is constrained by its limited seed carbohydrate reserves. Conclusions Seminal roots can improve the acquisition of both nitrogen and phosphorus in maize seedlings, and the increase in seed size associated with maize domestication may have facilitated increased seminal root number.

Unique contributions of chlorophyll and nitrogen to predict crop photosynthetic capacity from leaf spectroscopy

The photosynthetic capacity or the CO 2 -saturated photosynthetic rate (Vmax), chlorophyll, and nitrogen are closely linked leaf traits that determine C 4 crop photosynthesis and yield. Accurate, timely, rapid, and non-destructive approaches to predict leaf photosynthetic traits from hyperspectral reflectance are urgently needed for high-throughput crop monitoring to ensure food and bioenergy security. Therefore, this study thoroughly evaluated the state-of-the-art physically based radiative transfer models (RTMs), data-driven partial least squares regression (PLSR), and generalized PLSR (gPLSR) models to estimate leaf traits from leaf-clip hyperspectral reflectance, which was collected from maize (Zea mays L.) bioenergy plots with diverse genotypes, growth stages, treatments with nitrogen fertilizers, and ozone stresses in three growing seasons. The results show that leaf RTMs considering bidirectional effects can give accurate estimates of chlorophyll content (Pearson correlation r=0.95), while gPLSR enabled retrieval of leaf nitrogen concentration (r=0.85). Using PLSR with field measurements for training, the cross-validation indicates that V max can be well predicted from spectra (r=0.81). Here, the integration of chlorophyll content (strongly related to visible spectra) and nitrogen concentration (linked to shortwave infrared signals) can provide better predictions of V max (r=0.71) than only using either chlorophyll or nitrogen individually. This study highlights that leaf chlorophyll content and nitrogen concentration have key and unique contributions to V max prediction.

Identification of Yarrowia lipolytica as a platform for designed consortia that incorporate in situ nitrogen fixation to enable ammonia-free bioconversion

Bioconversion processes require nitrogen for growth and production of intracellular enzymes to produce biofuels and bioproducts. Typically, this is supplied as reduced nitrogen in the form of ammonia, which is produced offsite from N 2 and H 2 via the Haber-Bosch process. While this has revolutionized industries dependent on fixed nitrogen (e.g., modern agriculture), it is highly energy-intensive and its reliance on natural gas combustion results in substantial global CO 2 emissions. Here we investigated the feasibility of in situ biological nitrogen fixation from N 2 gas as a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas impacts of aerobic bioconversion processes. We developed an efficient and cost-effective method to screen fungal bioconversion hosts for compatibility with the free-living diazotrophic bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii under nitrogen fixing conditions. Our screening revealed that the genus Yarrowia is particularly enriched during co-culture experiments. Follow-up experiments identified four Y. lipolytica strains (NRRL Y-11853, NRRL Y-7208, NRRL Y-7317, and NRRL YB-618) capable of growth in co-culture with A. vinelandii. These strains utilize ammonium secreted during diazotrophic fixation of N 2 , which is provided as a component of the air input stream during aerobic fermentation. This demonstrates the feasibly of in situ biological nitrogen fixation to support heterotrophic fermentation processes for production of fuels and chemicals.

Nitrogen fixation and mucilage production on maize aerial roots is controlled by aerial root development and border cell functions

Exploring natural diversity for biological nitrogen fixation in maize and its progenitors is a promising approach to reducing our dependence on synthetic fertilizer and enhancing the sustainability of our cropping systems. We have shown previously that maize accessions from the Sierra Mixe can support a nitrogen-fixing community in the mucilage produced by their abundant aerial roots and obtain a significant fraction of their nitrogen from the air through these associations. In this study, we demonstrate that mucilage production depends on root cap and border cells sensing water, as observed in underground roots. The diameter of aerial roots correlates with the volume of mucilage produced and the nitrogenase activity supported by each root. Young aerial roots produce more mucilage than older ones, probably due to their root cap’s integrity and their ability to produce border cells. Transcriptome analysis on aerial roots at two different growth stages before and after mucilage production confirmed the expression of genes involved in polysaccharide synthesis and degradation. Genes related to nitrogen uptake and assimilation were up-regulated upon water exposure. Altogether, our findings suggest that in addition to the number of nodes with aerial roots reported previously, the diameter of aerial roots and abundance of border cells, polysaccharide synthesis and degradation, and nitrogen uptake are critical factors to ensure efficient nitrogen fixation in maize aerial roots.

Beyond Ammonia: Nitrogen–Element Bond Forming Reactions with Coordinated Dinitrogen

The functionalization of coordinated dinitrogen to form nitrogen-element bonds en route to nitrogen-containing molecules is a long-standing challenge in chemical synthesis. The strong triple bond and the non-polarity of the N 2 molecule pose thermodynamic and kinetic challenges for promoting reactivity. Although heterogeneous, homogeneous and biological catalysts are all known for catalytic nitrogen fixation to ammonia, the catalytic synthesis of more complicated nitrogen-containing organic molecules has far less precedent. Examples of silyl radical additions to coordinated nitrogen to form silylamines stands as the lone example of a catalytic reaction involving N 2 to form a product other than ammonia. Our review surveys the field of molecular transition metal complexes, as well as recent boron examples for the formation of nitrogen-element bonds. Emphasis is placed on the coordination and activation modes of N 2 in the various metal compounds from across the transition series and how these structures can rationally inform reactivity studies. Over the past few decades, the field has evolved from the addition of carbon electrophiles in a manner similar to protonation reactions to more organometallic-inspired reactivity including insertions, 1,2-additions and cycloadditions. Various N–C, N–Si and N–B bond-forming reactions have been discovered highlighting that the challenge for catalytic chemistry is not in the reactivity of coordinated dinitrogen but rather removal of the functionalized ligand from the coordination sphere of the metal.

The elite haplotype OsGATA8 -H coordinates nitrogen uptake and productive tiller formation in rice

Excessive nitrogen promotes the formation of nonproductive tillers in rice, which decreases nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Developing high-NUE rice cultivars through balancing nitrogen uptake and the formation of productive tillers remains a long-standing challenge, yet how these two processes are coordinated in rice remains elusive. Here we identify the transcription factor OsGATA8 as a key coordinator of nitrogen uptake and tiller formation in rice. OsGATA8 negatively regulates nitrogen uptake by repressing transcription of the ammonium transporter gene OsAMT3.2. Meanwhile, it promotes tiller formation by repressing the transcription of OsTCP19, a negative modulator of tillering. We identify OsGATA8-H as a high-NUE haplotype with enhanced nitrogen uptake and a higher proportion of productive tillers. The geographical distribution of OsGATA8-H and its frequency change in historical accessions suggest its adaption to the fertile soil. Overall, this study provides molecular and evolutionary insights into the regulation of NUE and facilitates the breeding of rice cultivars with higher NUE.

Ammonia emission abatement does not fully control reduced forms of nitrogen deposition

Significance Control of nitrogen oxides emissions has successfully reduced the deposition of oxidized nitrogen over the United States. Recent studies have called attention to the rapid growth of deposition of reduced forms of nitrogen, which would offset the benefits of reduction in oxidized nitrogen deposition. Our analysis, based on both monitoring and modeling approaches, illustrates that implementing ammonia emission abatement may not lead to full response in nitrogen deposition over continental regions. Here we provide important information to the community and policy makers concerning nitrogen deposition, given the urgent needs for developing control strategies on ammonia emissions.

Does resource exchange in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis vary with competitive context and nitrogen addition?

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis is essential for the nutrition of most temperate forest trees and helps regulate the movement of carbon and nitrogen through forested ecosystems. The factors governing the exchange of plant carbon for fungal nitrogen, however, remain obscure. Because competition and soil resources may influence ectomycorrhizal resource movement, we performed a ten month split-root microcosm study using Pinus muricata seedlings with Thelephora terrestris, Suillus pungens, or no ectomycorrhizal fungus, under two nitrogen levels in artificial soil. Fungi competed directly with roots, and indirectly with each other. We used stable isotope enrichment to track plant photosynthate and fungal nitrogen. For Thelephora, plants received N commensurate with the C given to their fungal partners. Thelephora was a superior mutualist under high nitrogen. For Suillus, plant C and fungal N exchange were not coupled. However, in low nitrogen, plants preferentially allocated C to Suillus rather than Thelephora. Our results suggest that ectomycorrhizal resource transfer depends on competitive and nutritional context. Plants can exchange C for fungal N, but coupling of these resources can depend on the fungal species and soil N. Here, understanding the diversity of fungal strategies, and how they change with environmental context, reveals mechanisms driving this important symbiosis.

Comparing field and lab quantitative stable isotope probing for nitrogen assimilation in soil microbes

ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities play crucial roles in nutrient cycling and can help retain nitrogen in agricultural soils. Quantitative stable isotope probing (qSIP) is a useful method for investigating taxon-specific microbial growth and utilization of specific nutrients, such as nitrogen (N). Typically, qSIP is performed in a highly controlled lab setting, so the field relevance of lab qSIP studies remains unknown. We conducted and compared tandem lab and field qSIP to quantify the assimilation of 15 N by maize-associated soil prokaryotic communities at two agricultural sites. Here, we show that field qSIP with 15 N can be used to measure taxon-specific microbial N assimilation. Relative 15 N assimilation rates were generally lower in the field, and the magnitude of this difference varied by site. Rates differed by method (lab vs field) for 19% of the top N assimilating genera. The field and lab measures were more comparable when relative assimilation rates were weighted by relative abundance to estimate the proportion of N assimilated by each genus with only ~10% of taxa differing by method. Of those that differed, the taxa consistently higher in the lab were inclined to have opportunistic lifestyle strategies, whereas those higher in the field had niches reliant on plant roots or in-tact soil structure (biofilms, mycelia). This study demonstrates that 15 N-qSIP can be successfully performed using field-incubated soils to identify microbial allies in N retention and highlights the strengths and limitations of field and lab qSIP approaches. IMPORTANCE Soil microbes are responsible for critical biogeochemical processes in natural and agricultural ecosystems. Despite their importance, the functional traits of most soil organisms remain woefully under-characterized, limiting our ability to understand how microbial populations influence the transformation of elements such as nitrogen (N) in soil. Quantitative stable isotope probing (qSIP) is a powerful tool to measure the traits of individual taxa. This method has rarely been applied in the field or with 15 N to measure nitrogen assimilation. In this study, we measured genus-specific microbial nitrogen assimilation in two agricultural soils and compared field and lab 15 N qSIP methods. Our results identify taxa important for nitrogen assimilation in agricultural soils, shed light on the field relevance of lab qSIP studies, and provide guidance for the future application of qSIP to measure microbial traits in the field.
