What type of bacteria feeds on dead things?

Bacteria that feed on dead organisms are called decomposers. I will explain how it works with plants. When plants are eaten by an animal or have died there are called ammonium compounds. Then ammonium compounds are decomposed by bacteria called decomposers and turned into nitrites. Then they get nitrified by bacteria called nitriying bacteria and turned into nitrates. Then the nitrates are absorbed by the roots of plants and the cycle starts again. There is a cycle that includes this that might help. Its called the nitrogen cycle.
