The process of nitrification results when chemoautotrophic bacteria oxidize ammonia into?

The process of nitrification results when chemoautotrophic bacteria oxidize ammonia into nitrites and then into nitrates. This conversion is important for the nitrogen cycle as it makes nitrogen available to plants for growth.


What do nitrifying bacteria manufacture nitrate from?

Nitrifying bacteria manufacture nitrate from ammonia. They first oxidize ammonia to nitrite and then further oxidize nitrite to nitrate through a two-step process called nitrification.


Bacteria that oxidize NH3 to NO2 are called?

Bacteria that oxidize NH3 to NO2 are called nitrifying bacteria. They play a key role in the nitrogen cycle by converting ammonia into nitrite, which is then further oxidized to nitrate.


What is super chlorinating?

Otherwise known as "shocking". This is the use of putting a lot of chlorine to oxidize and kill all ammonia and nitrogen compounds.


What type of bacteria convert ammonia compounds into useful nitrates?

Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are two types of bacteria that convert ammonia compounds into useful nitrates through a process known as nitrification. Nitrosomonas oxidize ammonia to nitrite, and Nitrobacter convert the nitrite into nitrate.


What bacteria can be grown in inorganic nutrients and oxidizes ammonia to nitrate ion?

Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are bacteria that can be grown in inorganic nutrients and oxidize ammonia to nitrate ion in a process known as nitrification. Nitrosomonas converts ammonia to nitrite, which is then further oxidized to nitrate by Nitrobacter.


Can ammonia be decomposed by ozone?

When treating water, ozone alone has no effect on ammonia. If bromine is present, ozone can oxidize bromine eventually to bromate, and bromate will convert ammonia to nitrogen gas and water. For more, search for "breakpoint bromination".


How can I oxidize copper at home?

To oxidize copper at home, you can create a solution of vinegar and salt and soak the copper item in it. Another method is to use a mixture of ammonia and salt to achieve oxidation on the copper surface. Remember to wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when handling these chemicals.

What two factors cause nitrification to occur?

Nitrification occurs primarily due to the activities of two groups of microorganisms: ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). AOB convert ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-) while NOB further oxidize nitrite to nitrate (NO3-), completing the nitrification process.
