Abstract

The potentials of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) production in acid tea soils from Indonesia and Japan were investigated in a laboratory incubation experiment, and the community structures of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in these soils were characterized using PCR-DGGE approaches. The soils used were sampled from tea plantations in Shizuoka, Japan and in Bogor and Malino, Indonesia. All of the soils were acidic (pH 3.45 to 4.00). The N2O and CO2 production in Shizuoka was almost 5 times higher than in Bogor and Malino. All of the amoA gene sequences defined belong to the genus Nitrosospira sp. with cluster 2 and cluster 3a.
