ammonia
Decomposers break down the corpses and wastes of organisms and release the Nitrogen they contain as ammonia. This is called "Ammonification."
Decomposers break down the corpses and wastes of organisms and release the Nitrogen they contain as ammonia. This is called "Ammonification."
Bacteria responsible for ammonification include various species of decomposers such as Bacillus and Clostridium, as well as certain species of Proteobacteria. These bacteria break down organic nitrogen compounds into ammonia through the process of ammonification, which is an important step in the nitrogen cycle.
Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen gas from the atmosphere is converted into ammonia by certain bacteria. Ammonification, on the other hand, is the process by which organic nitrogen from dead organisms or waste is converted into ammonia by decomposers like bacteria and fungi. Nitrogen fixation introduces new nitrogen into the ecosystem, while ammonification recycles existing nitrogen.
Ammonification is release of ammonia from amino acids during the decomposition of proteins. Bacteria that causes Ammonification is Bacillus ramosus.
Decomposers break complex organic compound and help in recycling of nutrient materials .
Nitrogen fixation is the process where nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is converted into a form that organisms can use. Nitrification involves the conversion of ammonium to nitrate by bacteria. Assimilation is the process by which plants and animals incorporate nitrate and ammonium into their tissues. Ammonification is the breakdown of organic nitrogen into ammonium by decomposers. Denitrification is the process by which nitrogen in the form of nitrate is converted back into nitrogen gas by bacteria.
Bacteria responsible for ammonification, such as nitrosomonas, are attracted to sources of ammonia and organic matter, which serve as their energy and nutrient sources. These bacteria are also attracted to environments with favorable oxygen and pH levels to carry out the ammonification process effectively.

i don't know? How do you create a separate compound?
Producers create food through photosynthesis, whereas decomposers breakdown dead or decaying matter. Decomposers do not make their own food, and so are consumers.
This process is known as ammonification. It involves the decomposers breaking down organic matter into simpler compounds, releasing ammonium ions as a byproduct.
