　　报告摘要：

　　Nitrous oxide (N2O), known as a highly potent greenhouse and serious ozone-depleting gas, is emitted from natural environments, agricultural croplands, and engineered systems. Due to the advancement of cost-effective nitrogen removal technologies for wastewater treatment, the emission of N2O has been, on the contrary, increasing, requiring its mitigation. Exploration, understanding and application of N2O-reducing bacteria entail, therefore, intensive studies. We have herewith identified, enriched, and isolated highly active N2O-reducing bacteria. The genera Dechloromonas and Azospira were enriched in a biofilm-based bioreactor feeding N2O and organic carbon as an electron acceptor and donor, respectively. The isolates affiliated with these genera harbor functional genes responsible for denitrification, identified as canonical denitrifying bacteria. These isolate hold high N2O reduction activity with the high affinity. More importantly, the isolates, Azospira sp. strains I09 and I13, have unique physiological trains for high oxygen tolerance and fast recovery of N2O reduction after oxygen exposure. The immobilization of Azospira sp. strain I13 consolidates these traits, which can be applied to a nitrogen-removing wastewater treatment process for mitigation of N2O emission. Ongoing challenges and future perspectives will be also introduced.
