Question

Which bacteria cause denitrification?


Open in App
Solution

Bacteria:

  1. Microorganisms that make denitrification convert nitrates in the dirt to liberate nitrogen that departs from the dirt and can't be absorbed by the plants.
  2. There are different microorganisms that absorb free nitrogen in the air and soil and convert it into items that can be taken up by the plant.

Denitrifying bacteria:

  1. Denitrifying microbes are microorganisms that convert nitrates in the dirt to free climatic nitrogen.
  2. This nitrogen can't be retained and absorbed by plants.
  3. Pseudomonas microbes under anaerobic circumstances lessen the proper nitrogen (nitrate).
  4. Denitrification happens when there is an absence of oxygen accessible for vigorous breath.
  5. The nitrate is utilized rather than oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor.
  6. The nitrate is diminished to nitrite, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, or nitrogen gas.
  7. Thiobacillus denitrificans, Micrococcus denitrificans, and a few types of Serratia, Pseudomonas, and Achromobacter are embroiled as denitrifiers.
