Nitrification is the process of combining ammonia and oxygen, usually by plants or bacteria. The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water has a 2002 Issue Paper entitled "Nitrification" of how the process takes place and affects ground water.

What is difference between nitrification and ammonification?

Ammonification is conversion of peptides, amino acids, and nucleic acids into ammonia in the form of NH3. It's done by microorganisms such as Bacillus spp., Proteus spp., and Pseudomonas spp. and usually takes place in soil. It can be either an oxidative or reductive process. Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia in the form of NH4- to NO3- through a two-stage process both involving the addition of oxygen (oxidation). Nitrification 1 converts NH4- to NO2- by ammonium oxidising bacteria e.g. Nitrosomonas spp. Nitrification 2 converts NO2- to NO3- by nitrite oxidising bacteria e.g. Nitrobacter spp..
