Microorganisms that convert nitrous oxide into nitrogen gas play an essential role in reducing these emissions. In this study, we investigated\n                        <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Stutzerimonas frequens<\/jats:italic>\n                        strain E49, a bacterium isolated from wastewater treatment sludge. We found that this organism can efficiently reduce nitrous oxide even without an external supply of organic carbon, which is typically required by most bacteria. This suggests that the bacterium can rely on internal energy reserves to carry out this process. We also identified the genetic basis for its nitrous oxide reduction and its ability to adapt to environmental stress. These findings improve our understanding of how nitrous oxide-reducing bacteria function in nutrient-limited environments and may support the development of strategies to mitigate emissions in wastewater treatment and other engineered systems.\n                      <\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:sec>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.00743-26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,31]],"date-time":"2026-08-31T13:00:16Z","timestamp":1788181216000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Genomic and physiological characterization of newly isolated nitrous oxide-reducing bacterium\n                    <i>Stutzerimonas frequens<\/i>\n                    strain E49 from landfill leachate-treating activated sludge"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"92","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0780-962X","authenticated-orcid":false,"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Jameil","family":"Magomnang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00qg0kr10","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology","place":["Koganei, Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-2827-3675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shohei","family":"Yasuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03bea9k73","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, College of Science and Engineering, University of Galway","place":["Galway, Ireland"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00qg0kr10","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Global Innovation Research Institute, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology","place":["Fuchu, Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9258-6912","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Akihiko","family":"Terada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00qg0kr10","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Department of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology","place":["Koganei, Japan"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00qg0kr10","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Global Innovation Research Institute, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology","place":["Fuchu, Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","volume-title":"Contribution of working groups I, II and III to the sixth assessment report of the intergovernmental panel on climate change","author":"Calvin K","year":"2023","unstructured":"Calvin K, Dasgupta D, Krinner G, Mukherji A, Thorne PW, Trisos C, Romero J, Aldunce P, Barrett K, Blanco G, et al.. 2023.
