Drug discovery-based approach identifies improved nitrification inhibitors

Abstract: Nitrogen (N) fertilization is crucial to sustain global food security, but fertilizer N production is energy-demanding and subsequent environmental N losses contribute to biodiversity loss and climate change. To mitigate the environmental impact of N-fertilizers, nitrification inhibitors can be applied to produce so-called enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs), which effectively reduce nitrogen pollution. However, current nitrification inhibitors have limitations and do not target all nitrifying microorganism… Show more

“…Unfortunately, their efficacy varies with soil characteristics (e.g. pH and moisture content) and climate conditions (Yang et al, 2016;Guardia et al, 2018;Lam et al, 2022;Beeckman et al, 2023a). Moreover, DCD requires high application rates which sometimes leads to phytotoxic effects (Weiske et al, 2001;Wissemeier et al, 2001), while DMPP seems to have a low stability in certain soils (Doran et al, 2018;Sidhu et al, 2021).…”

“…The first and rate-limiting step in this microbial process is ammonia (NH3) oxidation, which is executed by the ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) enzyme in ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms. Subsequently, nitrite (NO2 -) is formed by the actions of the hydroxylamine dehydrogenase (HAO) enzyme and a yet unidentified component (Caranto and Lancaster, 2017;Beeckman et al, 2018;Beeckman et al, 2023a). Subsequent oxidation of NO2results in the formation of nitrate (NO3 -), serving together with ammonium (NH4 + ) as a N source for plants (Pélissier et al, 2021).…”
