Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are the two major genera of nitrogen-fixing bacteria true or false?
true
How can N be removed from wastewater treatment?
Nitrobacter play an essential role in aquaponics. Nitrosomonas bacteria first convert ammonia into nitrites. Nitrobacter convert the nitrites into nitrates, which are readily absorbed by the plants. Read more at the link below.
What breaks down nitrogen in the soil?
Nothing. Nitrogen is an element, the simplest form of matter.However, you may be thinking of what causes soil ammonium to be nitrified into the nitrate form usable by plants. This is most commonly done by nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. See the related link below for more information on this process.
How do nitrogen return into atmosphere?
when living beings get died, 1) pseudomonas bacteria converts their body N into ammonioum salts, 2) then nitrosomonas bacteria turns ammonium salt to nitrite, 3) then nitrobacter turns it to nitrate, 4) again pseudomonas turns nitrate to Nitrogen... from this way Nitrogen returns to atmoshere
Who discovered nitrosomonas europaea?
In 1892 by Sergei Winogradsky.
Why do you think nitrification requires two different types of bacteria?
nitrification is a 2 step process the first step is the oxidation of ammonia into nitrate the second step is the oxidation of nitrate into nitrite since these are 2 separate steps, there is no microorganism in existence that can carry out both steps instead, the first step usually uses Nitrosomonas or Nitrococcus bacteria the second step usually uses Nitrobacter bacteria
What is difference between nitrification and ammonification?
Ammonification is conversion of peptides, amino acids, and nucleic acids into ammonia in the form of NH3. It's done by microorganisms such as Bacillus spp., Proteus spp., and Pseudomonas spp. and usually takes place in soil. It can be either an oxidative or reductive process. Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia in the form of NH4- to NO3- through a two-stage process both involving the addition of oxygen (oxidation). Nitrification 1 converts NH4- to NO2- by ammonium oxidising bacteria e.g. Nitrosomonas spp. Nitrification 2 converts NO2- to NO3- by nitrite oxidising bacteria e.g. Nitrobacter spp..
Where can you find the bacteria responsible for can converting nitrogen into ammonia?
It is usually performed by soil-living bacteria, such as nitrobacter.

What are Nitrobacter?
A type of bacteria that fixes nitrogen in plant roots.Nitrobacter is a genus of mostly rod-shaped, gram-negative, and chemoautotrophic bacteria.
