General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism nitrification is a fundamental process in the marine nitrogen cycle that makes fixed nitrogen available in the form of nitrite and nitrate to primary producers and for denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation. Nitrification results from the combination of two processes: ammonia oxidation and nitrite oxidation. The ammonia oxidation process starts with the oxidation of ammonia to hydroxylamine, which is catalyzed by ammonia monoxygenase, AMO Crenarchaeota
