In the past two decades, more and more attentions have been paid to soil-derived greenhouse gases (GHGs) including carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) because there are signs that they have rising negative impacts on the sustainability of the earth surface system. Farmlands, particularly paddy soils, have been regarded as the most important emitter of GHGs (nearly 17%) due to a large influx of fertilization and the abundance in animals, plants and microorganisms. Geobacter, as an electroactive microorganism widely occurred in soil, has been well studied on electron transport mechanisms and the direct interspecies electron transfer. These studies on Geobacter illustrate that it has the ability to be involved in the pathways of soil GHG emissions through redox reactions under anaerobic conditions. In this review, production mechanisms of soil-derived GHGs and the amount of these GHGs produced had been first summarized. The cycling process of CH₄ and N₂O was described from the view of microorganisms and discussed the co-culture relationships between Geobacter and other microorganisms. Furthermore, the role of Geobacter in the production of soil-derived GHGs is defined by biogeochemical cycling. The complete view on the effect of Geobacter on the emission of soil-derived GHGs has been shed light on, and appeals further investigation.

在过去的二十年中，越来越多地关注土壤衍生的温室气体（GHG），包括二氧化碳（CO ₂），甲烷（CH ₄）和一氧化二氮（N ₂ O），因为有迹象表明它们具有对地表系统可持续性的负面影响日益增加。由于大量施肥以及动植物，微生物的大量繁殖，农田，特别是稻田土壤，被认为是最重要的温室气体排放者（近17％）。土杆菌作为一种广泛存在于土壤中的电活性微生物，已经在电子传输机理和直接种间电子转移方面进行了深入研究。这些关于地球细菌的研究说明它具有在厌氧条件下通过氧化还原反应参与土壤温室气体排放途径的能力。在这篇综述中，首先总结了土壤衍生的温室气体的产生机理和这些温室气体的产生量。从微生物的角度描述了CH ₄和N ₂ O的循环过程，并讨论了地球细菌与其他微生物之间的共培养关系。此外，通过生物地球化学循环确定了土壤细菌在土壤衍生的温室气体生产中的作用。关于土壤杆菌对土壤衍生的温室气体排放的影响的完整观点已被阐明，并有待进一步研究。
