Vedclass · Answer

(D) Nitrifying bacteria are chemoautotrophic organisms that oxidize ammonia to nitrites and then to nitrates. $1$. Ammonia $(NH_3)$ is oxidized to nitrite $(NO_2^-)$ by bacteria such as $Nitrosomonas$ and $Nitrococcus$. $2$. Nitrite $(NO_2^-)$ is further oxidized to nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ by bacteria such as $Nitrobacter$. Since both steps are part of the nitrification process,the correct answer is that they convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrites into nitrates.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$I$. Nitrosomonas	Nitrite to nitrate
$II$. Thiobacillus	Denitrification
$III$. Nostoc	Free-living nitrogen fixer
$IV$. Azotobacter	Anaerobic nitrogen fixer
