The soybean endosymbiontBradyrhizobium japonicumis able to scavenge the greenhouse gas N2O through the N2O reductase (Nos). In previous research, N2O emission from soybean rhizosphere was mitigated byB. japonicumNos++strains (mutants with increased Nos activity). Here, we report the mechanism underlying the Nos++phenotype. Comparative analysis of Nos++mutant genomes showed that mutation ofbll4572resulted in Nos++phenotype.bll4572encodes NasS, the nitrate (NO3−)‐sensor of the two‐component NasST regulatory system. Transcriptional analyses ofnosZ(encoding Nos) and other genes from the denitrification process innasSandnasSTmutants showed that, in the absence of NO3−,nasSmutation inducesnosZandnap(periplasmic nitrate reductase) vianasT. NO3−addition dissociated the NasS‐NasT complexin vitro, suggesting the release of the activator NasT. Disruption ofnasTled to a marked decrease innosZandnaptranscription in cells incubated in the presence of NO3−. Thus, although NasST is known to regulate the NO3−‐mediated response of NO3−assimilation genes in bacteria, our results show that NasST regulates the NO3−‐mediated response ofnosZandnapEgenes, from the dissimilatory denitrification pathway, inB. japonicum.
