Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the


oxidation of the nitrite to nitrate. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate
limiting step of nitrification.Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.

Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process of nitrate reduction (performed by a large


group of heterotrophic facultative anaerobic bacteria) that may ultimately produce molecular
nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products.
Ammonia or azane is acompound of nitrogen andhydrogen with the formulaNH3. The
simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It
contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor
tofood and fertilizers. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building block for the synthesis
of many pharmaceutical products and is used in many commercial cleaning products.

Acidophiles or acidophilic organisms are those that thrive under highly acidic conditions
(usually at pH 2.0 or below). These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of
life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukaryotes.
Alkaliphiles are a class of extremophilic microbes capable of survival in alkaline (pH roughly
8.511) environments, growing optimally around a pH of 10.

Most bacteria prefer pH 6-8


Most fungi prefer pH 4-7
