Question

What is the process of nitrification?

Bacteria converts ammonia into nitrites and nitrates that plants can use.
Fungi convert nitrogen in dead plants into ammonium, which converts proteins into ammonia.
Nitrogen is converted into a useable form through lightning fixation.
Plant enzymes reduce nitrogen compounds into amino acids.

Answer 1

Bacteria converts ammonia into nitrites and nitrates that plants can use.

Nitrification is a microbial process by which reduced nitrogen compounds (primarily ammonia) are sequentially oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. Ammonia is present in drinking water through either naturally-occurring processes or through ammonia addition during secondary disinfection to form chloramines.
