Light-dependent assimilation of trans-cinnamate by Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5.

abstract：:Grasslands are suffering from long-term overgrazing because of the population inflation. Furthermore, nitrous oxide (N2O) is a major greenhouse gas that also depletes stratospheric ozone. However, the emission rate of grassland N2O and underlying mechanisms remained unclear under different grazing intensities. We cond...
