The process whereby nitrogen is brought into organic molecules is called.___________ nitrification denitrification nitrogen fixation nitrogen cycling
Figure 22.19 Which of the following statements about the nitrogen cycle is false? Nitrogen fixing bacteria exist on the root nodules of legumes and in the soil. Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrates (NO3 ) into nitrogen gas (N2). Ammonification is the process by which ammonium ion (NH4+) is released from decomposing organic compounds. Nitrification is the process by which nitrites (NO2-) are converted to ammonium ion (NH4+).
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live throughout the ocean, from its sunlit upper waters to 200 meters (650 Feet) beneath its surface. Recall that nitrogen is a limiting factor in many habitats. What effect would an increase in populations of marine nitrogen-fixers have on carbon uptake and primary productivity in those waters?

"Biodegradation of Diesel Oil Using Bacillus Isolates" Environmental pollution is now a worldwide burning issue. There are many places in the Philippines, which are now contaminated by petrochemical sources, such as petroleum refineries and storage sites, paint manufacturing plants, gasoline service stations, gas emissions, etc. (EMB-DENR, 1997). Although the basic solution to the pollution problem is the elimination of the sources of these pollutants, there are however overriding economic, social and political factors that must be considered. An attractive remedial measure is the use of pesticide-degrading microorganisms for the environmental clean-up. Bacteria of the genus Bacillus are a group of versatile microbes known to degrade complex organic matters refractive to most microorganisms. Several species produce enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of petroleum products in water as well as in oil. These bacteria may provide the means of eliminating unwanted pollutants in the…
