What is aminization process?

Aminization is the first step in soil mineralization in which proteins are broken down into amino acids such as NH4+. Heterotrophic organisms (require carbon); bacteria and fungi convert proteins in organic residues to amino acids, amines, and urea. The next step in the mineralization process is Ammonification. Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes are active in conversion of aminization products to NH4+ (Soil moisture and temperature optimums important in microbial population activity) If we go through aminization and ammonification the net result is NH4 but the plant wants NO2- and NO3- (nitrification)


What does ammonification mean?

Ammonification is release of ammonia from amino acids during the decomposition of proteins. Bacteria that causes Ammonification is Bacillus ramosus.
