nitrobacter in a sentence

Examples

1. "Nitrobacter " play an essential role in aquaponics . " Nitrosomonas " bacteria first convert ammonia into nitrites . " Nitrobacter " convert the nitrites into nitrates, which are readily absorbed by the plants.
2. "Nitrobacter " play an essential role in aquaponics . " Nitrosomonas " bacteria first convert ammonia into nitrites . " Nitrobacter " convert the nitrites into nitrates, which are readily absorbed by the plants.
3. The nitrogen cycle is completed as follows : ammonia in the wastewater is converted to ammonium ions; the aerobic bacterium " Nitrosomonas " sp . oxidizes ammonium to nitrite; the bacterium " Nitrobacter " sp . then converts nitrite to nitrate.
4. Unlike plants, where electron transfer in photosynthesis provides the energy for carbon fixation, " Nitrobacter " uses energy from the oxidation of nitrite ions, NO 2  ", into nitrate ions, NO 3  ", to fulfill their energy needs.
5. In 1888, he relocated to Zurich, where he began investigation into the process of nitrification, identifying the genera " Nitrosomonas " and " Nitrosococcus ", which oxidizes ammonium to nitrite, and " Nitrobacter ", which oxidizes nitrite to nitrate.
6. Nitrate formation by nitrite oxidising bacteria ( NOB ) ( such as " Nitrobacter " ) is prevented by adjusting temperature, pH, and retention time to select for nitr " i " fying ammonia oxidising bacteria ( AOB ) ( such as " Nitrosomonas " ).
7. Nitrification is actually the net result of two distinct processes : oxidation of ammonia to nitrite ( ) by nitrosifying bacteria ( e . g . " Nitrosomonas " ) and oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by the nitrite-oxidizing bacteria ( e . g . " Nitrobacter " ).
8. Nitrite oxidation to nitrate ( NO 3  " ), though traditionally believed to be facilitated by " Nitrobacter " spp . ( nitro referring the formation of a nitro functional group ), is now known to be facilitated in the environment almost exclusively by " Nitrospira " spp.
