Soil Microbes Consume Atmospheric Hydrogen
SHRESTHA DUTTA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Soil microbes use up atomic hydrogen (H2) from the Earth’s atmosphere and serve as the primary sink in the global biogeochemical H2 cycle as indicated in the field and lab-based examinations. Hydrogen oxidation in soil follows biphasic kinetics with both high-affinity (Km < 100 nM) and low-affinity (Km > 1000 nM) enzyme action. It is to […]
