Anaerobic ammonium oxidation and denitrification

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $(D)$.Denitrification is a biological process in which nitrates $(NO_3^-)$ in the soil are reduced to molecular nitrogen $(N_2)$ gas,which is then released into the atmosphere. This process is carried out by denitrifying bacteria such as $Pseudomonas$ $denitrificans$ and $Thiobacillus$ $denitrificans$.Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (often referred to as $ANAMMOX$) is another microbial process where ammonium $(NH_4^+)$ is oxidized to dinitrogen gas $(N_2)$ under anaerobic conditions,contributing to the nitrogen cycle by returning $N_2$ to the atmosphere.

Section $A$	Section $B$
$(i)$ Nitrosomonas	$(a)$ Nitrite $\rightarrow$ Nitrate
$(ii)$ Agrobacterium	$(b)$ Nitrogen fixative bacteria
$(iii)$ Rhizobium	$(c)$ $NO_3^- \rightarrow N_2$
$(iv)$ Nitrobacter	$(d)$ Ammonia $\rightarrow$ Nitrite
	$(e)$ Denitrifying bacteria

Which two distinct microbial processes are responsible for the release of fixed nitrogen as dinitrogen gas $(N_2)$ to the atmosphere?
