Differentiate between nitrification and ammonification |
|
Answer» NITRIFICATION is the conversion of Ammonia in the form of NH4- to N03- through a two stage PROCESS both involving the addition of oxygen ( oxidation). It is the biological oxidation of Ammonia nitrogen in to NITRATE nitrogen. Ammonification on the other side is the conversion of peptides, amino acids, nucleic acids in to ammonia in the form of NH3. It is done by micro organisms such as Bacillus, Proteus SPP It can EITHER be oxidation or reduction. |
