Nitrous oxide |

| Description: | Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a chemical compound with the formula N2O. It is an oxide of nitrogen. At room temperature, it is a colorless, non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odor and taste. N2O is produced naturally by microorganisms in soil through various types of nitrification and denitrification processes. (Wikipedia) Nitrous oxide production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa seems to result from the reduction of nitrite (NO2-) by nitrate (NO3-) reductase. (PMID 6347062) |
