Name a biological process of nitrogen fixing bacteria present in soil.
Process of nitrogen-fixing bacteria:
Steps in the nitrogen cycle are :
Biological Nitrogen fixation:
Assimilation:
The nitrates and nitrites are absorbed by green plants to produce the organic compounds of nitrogen.
Ammonification:
The decomposition of proteins of dead animals and plants to ammonia in the presence of ammonifying bacteria such as Bacillus ramosus and Bacillus vulgaris.
Nitrification:
Denitrification:
The process of conversion of nitrates and nitrites into molecular nitrogen in the presence of denitrifying bacteria such as Thiobacillus denitrificans
