Nitrification is a lithotrophic metabolic strategy most common in the grassland of an active cattlefarm.
<h3>What is nitrification?</h3>
Nitrification is that the process by which ammonia is converted to nitrites (NO2-) and then nitrates (NO3-). This process naturally occurs within the environment, where it's carried out by specialized bacteria. Ammonia. Ammonia is obtained by the breakdown of the organic sources of nitrogen. It is also a lithotrophic metabolic strategy used in cattle farm.
<h3>Why is nitrification important?</h3>
Nitrification may be a key microbial two-step transformation in the nitrogen cycle because it is the only natural pathway whereby nitrate is produced within a system. The energy gain from this aerobic chemoautotrophic process is comparatively low, and rates are generally low compared to other organic process processes.
