(B) Nitrification is the biological process of converting ammonia into nitrates. In the first step,ammonium ions $(NH_4^+)$ are oxidized to nitrites $(NO_2^-)$ by bacteria such as $Nitrosomonas$ and $Nitrosococcus$. In the second step,nitrites $(NO_2^-)$ are oxidized to nitrates $(NO_3^-)$ by bacteria such as $Nitrobacter$ and $Nitrocystis$.
