What is denitrofying bacteria?

Denitrofying bacteria help to metabolize nitrogen so that they can use the it. These bacteria take available nitrogen from the soil, as opposed to nitrifying bacteria that increase available nitrogen in the soil.


Soil bacteria are responsible for carrying many steps in the nitrogen cycle. Soil bacteria are NOT responsible for?

Soil bacteria are not responsible for fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere. This process is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium and cyanobacteria.


How do you separate nitrogen from soil?

Bacteria in the soil called nitrogen-fixing bacteria go through a process called nitrogen-fixation which allows nitrogen to enter the atmosphere


Are Decomposing bacteria and nitrogen-converting bacteria important to farmers?

Decomposing bacteria and nitrogen-converting bacteria important to farmers because they help to send nutrients through the soil. These types of bacteria regulate nitrogen n the soil.


What fixes nitrogen in the soil?

Bacteria


Which bacteria can release nitrogen from nitrates and nitrites in the soil back to the atmosphere?

The bacteria that can release nitrogen from nitrates and nitrites in the soil back to the atmosphere are called denitrifying bacteria.


How atmospheric nitrogen enters the soil?

Typically, atmospheric nitrogen gets into the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are symbiotic with such plants as clover, soybeans and alfalfa. Bacteria in the plant extract nitrogen from the air, and when the plants die, the nitrogen remains in the soil as the plant decays.


What organism fix nitrogen in soil?

Bacteria


Where does nitrogen in the soil come from?

Nitrogen compounds known as Nitrates found in the soil


What processes in the nitrogen are complete by bacteria?

It is nitrogen fixation, which occurs by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the root nodules of legumes and in the soil..


When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?

Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.


Where do bacteria in the soil obtain their nitrogen?

Bacteria in soil obtain their nitrogen primarily from organic matter, such as dead plants and animals. They can also obtain nitrogen through nitrogen fixation, a process where certain bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use.
