Bacteria Certain bacteria can use nitrogen from the air to make nitrogen-containing substances called nitrites. Other bacteria can turn nitrites into nitrates-another group of nitrogen-containing substances.

Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are bacteria that are responsible for converting ammonia to nitrite and then nitrite to nitrate in the nitrogen cycle. These bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down nitrogen compounds in the environment.
They are called nitryfying bacteria. Examples are Rhizobium, Anabena etc
I have no idea what the answer is.
Chemoautotrophs like Nitrogen fixing bacteria
The process of converting nitrogen into nitrogen compounds by bacteria is called nitrogen fixation. This process is essential for making nitrogen available for plant uptake and for supporting all forms of life.
Nitrogen compounds known as Nitrates found in the soil
