Ammonification is release of ammonia from amino acids during the decomposition of proteins. Bacteria that causes Ammonification is Bacillus ramosus.

Bacteria responsible for ammonification include various species of decomposers such as Bacillus and Clostridium, as well as certain species of Proteobacteria. These bacteria break down organic nitrogen compounds into ammonia through the process of ammonification, which is an important step in the nitrogen cycle.
Bacteria responsible for ammonification, such as nitrosomonas, are attracted to sources of ammonia and organic matter, which serve as their energy and nutrient sources. These bacteria are also attracted to environments with favorable oxygen and pH levels to carry out the ammonification process effectively.
Soil bacteria are not responsible for causing diseases in plants or animals. This role is typically played by pathogenic bacteria or other organisms.
Bacteria is responsible for recycling of materials.
The production of ammonia by bacteria during the decay of nitrogen-containing urea is called nitrogen cycle. The process of combining nitrogen gas with hydrogen to form ammonia is called nitrogen fixation.
It is usually performed by soil-living bacteria, such as nitrobacter.
