Vedclass · Answer

(A) The process of breaking down complex organic nitrogenous compounds like proteins into ammonia is known as ammonification.This process is carried out by various soil microorganisms,including bacteria such as $Bacillus$ species (e.g.,$Bacillus$ $mycoides$,$Bacillus$ $vulgaris$) and fungi.$Nitrosomonas$ is involved in the process of nitrification (converting ammonia to nitrite),not ammonification.$Pseudomonas$ is primarily involved in denitrification.Therefore,$Bacillus$ $vulgaris$ is a known ammonifying bacterium.

Column $- I$	Column $- II$
$(a)$ Nitrococcus	$(i)$ Denitrification
$(b)$ Rhizobium	$(ii)$ Conversion of ammonia to nitrite
$(c)$ Thiobacillus	$(iii)$ Conversion of nitrite to nitrate
$(d)$ Nitrobacter	$(iv)$ Conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia
