Moves into the Atmospheric Nitrogen
they produce nitrogen.
nitrites
Breaks down the nitrogen, turning it back into N2 gas.Pseudomonas denitrificans
This is a misprint of 'denitrifying'. Denitrifying bacteria are commonly present in anaerobic environments, both in ocean sediments and freshwaters. They are responsible for the reduction of inorganic nitrogen compounds (nitrates NO3-) to gaseous nitrogen (NO, N2O and N2) and may be the source of all nitrogen gas in the atmosphere.

This is known as nitrogen fixation.
in nature nitrogen from the atmosphere is converted to ammonia by nitrifying bacteria ammonia is then converted to nitrite and then to nitrate by nitrogen fixing bacteria. nitrate is converted back to nitrogen by denitrifying bacteria
