Question

Bacillus ramosus and Bacillus vulgaris are examples of

• A. Ammonifying bacteria
• B. Nitrate bacteria
• C. Nitrite bacteria
• D. Symbiotic bacteria

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ammonifying bacteria

Ammonifying bacteria are bacteria that converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. They can be either symbiotic or non-symbiotic. Symbiotic ammonifying bacteria form root nodules and provides ammonia or ammonium to the plant. Non symbiotic ammonifying bacteria live freely & use ammonia for their own metabolism. Examples of ammonifying bacteria include Bacillus vulgaris and Bacillus ramosus. They release ammonia from protein.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Ammonifying bacteria.'
