Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrites or nitrates. Ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are all fixed nitrogen and can be absorbed by plants. Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates back to nitrogen gas.

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.
