Actinobacteria sp. are fermenting organisms, which do not require oxygen to survive. These organisms break down organic material and convert it to inorganic material. Which part of the carbon cycle does this describe?
Why are bacteria a necessary part of the nitrogen cycle?
Thiobacillus denitrificans is a species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as nitrogen in its environment. It is used in bioremediation (natural cleansing) of groundwater that contains excess nitrate, allowing the nitrates to be removed. Through what process does Thiobacillus denitrificans help bioremediate groundwater?
Which process plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus?
