Anaerobic ammonium oxidation and denitrification

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $(D)$.Denitrification is a biological process in which nitrates $(NO_3^-)$ in the soil are reduced to molecular nitrogen $(N_2)$ gas,which is then released into the atmosphere. This process is carried out by denitrifying bacteria such as $Pseudomonas$ $denitrificans$ and $Thiobacillus$ $denitrificans$.Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (often referred to as $ANAMMOX$) is another microbial process where ammonium $(NH_4^+)$ is oxidized to dinitrogen gas $(N_2)$ under anaerobic conditions,contributing to the nitrogen cycle by returning $N_2$ to the atmosphere.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$A$. Thiobacillus	$1$. Free-living nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria
$B$. Nitrosomonas	$2$. Denitrification
$C$. Nostoc	$3$. Free-living aerobic nitrogen-fixing bacteria
$D$. Azotobacter	$4$. $NH_{3}$ to Nitrite

Which two distinct microbial processes are responsible for the release of fixed nitrogen as dinitrogen gas $(N_2)$ to the atmosphere?
