    Denitrifying Bacteria: Nitr Tes

    Uploaded by

    Diya Ghosal
    Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants but it exists mainly in the air in its elemental form which plants cannot use. Some plants like peas and clover have root nodules containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia that plants can absorb as a nutrient. Upon death of plants and animals, decomposer bacteria and fungi break down their remains and waste products, converting nitrogen into various forms through the nitrogen cycle, ultimately returning it to the air or making it available to other plants and organisms.
