Microbe and Global Warming Gas Production

I am not sure I understand this issue. Perhaps someone can explain what a microbe has to do with global warming gas production.

A MICROSCOPIC organism being studied by scientists in Scotland is threatening to turn current thinking about the production of greenhouse gases on its head.

Until now the scientific community has believed that only one form of micro-organism, bacteria, has been responsible for converting decomposing plants and animal waste into nitrate - a key part of the nitrogen cycle, which sustains all living things on earth.
