Examples of nitrification
nitrification
Trials using nitrification inhibitors show an average halving of N2O production.

Nitrification can then occur to convert the ammonium to nitrite and nitrate.

Global declines in oceanic nitrification rates as a consequence of ocean acidification.

Lakes that rely on ground water are often affected by nitrification through this process.
From the en.wikipedia.org
To prevent fish deaths, nitrification via aeration prior to discharge is often desirable.

He referred to DairyNZ's Breeding Worth index for dairy sires and nitrification inhibitor testing.

Oceanic nitrification is a major natural component of production of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide.
From the sciencedaily.com
There are two groups of bacteria that, by a process known as nitrification, convert ammonium into nitrate.
From the sciencedaily.com
Nitrification itself is a two-step aerobic process, each step facilitated by a different type of bacteria.
From the en.wikipedia.org
- The chemical process in which a nitro group is added to an organic compound (or substituted for another group in an organic compound)
- The oxidation of ammonium compounds in dead organic material into nitrates and nitrites by soil bacteria (making nitrogen available to plants)
- (nitrify) convert into nitric acid, nitrous acid, or nitrate, especially with the action of nitrobacteria
- (nitrify) treat with nitrogen or a nitrogen compound
- The process whereby ammonia in wastewater is oxidized to nitrite and then to nitrate by bacterial or chemical reactions.
- The conversion of nitrogen organic compounds to inorganic compounds of nitrogen. This conversion is accomplished, in the main, by bacteria. [Applied and Environmental Microbiology; v60; 3307-3314; 1994.] [Nature; v342; 895-897; 1989.]
- Conversion of relatively immobile ammonium to nitrite and mobile nitrate by bacteria.
- The process where ammonium is converted to nitrate nucleotides a compound consisting of a base, a phosphate group, and a sugar. DNA and RNA are linear chains (polymers) of nucleotides
- The process by which bacteria converts ammonia into nitrite and then nitrite into nitrate. This is the basis of the nitrogen cycle.
