Nitrosomonas

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The process of nitrification involves the oxidation of ammonia to nitrites and then to nitrates.$Nitrosomonas$ and $Nitrococcus$ are chemoautotrophic bacteria that oxidize ammonia to nitrites $(NO_{2}^{-})$.$Nitrobacter$ is responsible for the further oxidation of nitrites to nitrates $(NO_{3}^{-})$.The chemical reaction for the conversion of ammonia to nitrites is:$2NH_{3} + 3O_{2} \xrightarrow{	ext{Nitrosomonas}} 2NO_{2}^{-} + 2H^{+} + 2H_{2}O + 	ext{Energy}$
