Descripción
As other legume crops, alfalfa cultivation increases the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Since legumesymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria play a crucial role in this emission, it is important to understand the possible impacts of rhizobial domestication on the evolution of denitrification genes. In comparison with the genomes of non-commercial strains, those of commercial alfalfa inoculants exhibit low total genome size, low number of ORFs and high numbers of both frameshifted genes and pseudogenes, suggesting a dramatic loss of genes during bacterial domestication. Genomic analysis focused on denitrification genes revealed that commercial strains have perfectly conserved the nitrate (NAP), nitrite (NIR) and nitric (NOR) reductase clusters related to the production of N2O from nitrate but completely lost the nitrous oxide (NOS) reductase cluster (nosRZDFYLX genes) associated with the reduction of N2O to gas nitrogen. Based on these results, we propose future screenings for alfalfa-nodulating isolates containing both nitrogen fixation and N2O reductase genes for environmental sustainability of alfalfa production.
