How do you describe the role of bacteria in returning nitrogen to the atmosphere?
There are two types of bacteria; nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria. The work of denitrifying bacteria such as Thiobacillus and Micrococcus is converting nitrates to nitrogen that is released to the atmosphere.
What are cfcs used for?
Its used in the compressors of refrigerators and air- conditioners
What is Crocoite used for?
Crocoite is mainly used as a mineral specimen. It used to be used as a minor ore of chromium, but it is now too rare to be used for that.It is on wikipedia too
What is the use of acetal?
dilute ethanoic acid is used as a preservative in the preparation of pickles.it is used for making cellulose acetate which is an important artificial fibre.it is used in the manufacture of acetone and esters used in perfumes.it is used in the preparation of dyes.it is used to coaggulate rubber from latex.it is used for making white lead which is used as a white paint.it is used as a chemical reagent in chemistry lab.
Where is evaporation used?
evaporating is used in preparation of petrol, etc.
Does bacteria cause toxic waste?
Severl species of Acidithiobacillus such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also called Thiobacillus thiooxidans or Thiobacillus concretivorus) can convert various sulfur compounds to sulphuric acid a toxic water pollutant.

Acid mine drainage results from the chemical weathering of?
While some acid mine drainage is the result of weathering the major influence is the action of acid forming bacteria such asAcidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) found in pyrite deposits where it metabolizes iron and sulfur to produce sulfuric acid.Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus concretivorus) which consumes sulfur and sulfides to produce produces sulfuric acid.The sulfur and iron compounds are common in many ores and coal deposits and the waste deposits resulting from their extraction.

Can thiobacillus survive in sulfuric acid?
yes thiobacillus can survive
What are examples of -biodegradable material?
Biodegradable Materials - are capable of being broken down especially into innocuous products by the actions of living things. Examples are:Leavespaperwoodplant matter e.g grassToilet papercardboardpaper towels, napkinsnewspaperjunk mailfood scrapscoffee groundsashesyard wasteBacteria are surprisingly adaptive organisms and can biodegrade a very wide range of materials which would not ordinarily be thought of as biodegradable. As bacteria can "eat" them they can be put into the biodegradable class as well.It is fairly common knowledge that some bacteria adapt to eat heavy hydrocarbons from oil spills and are used to clean up this type of environmental problem. Similar bacteria can even eat asphalt in a high concentration of sodium chloride. Deep sea bacteria near black smokers (volcanic vents) consume toxic sulfides as a source of energy. Some bacteria even eat iron and sulphur compounds. Examples are Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus thiooxidans or Thiobacillus concretivorus) excreting iron and sulfuric acid.human waste,manure,sewage,slaughterhouse waste,green waste,food waste,paperwaste,jute & cottonwaste
