- break down dead organic matter and waste matter from organisms to CO2, H2O and ions F.2.2: Draw and label a diagram of the nitrogen cycle F.2.3: State the roles of Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter and Pseudomonas denitrificans in the nitrogen cycle The Nitrogen Cycle
Oxygen-loving bacteria called Nitrosomonas convert the ammonia to nitrite. Nitrite is toxic to fish, but less so than ammonia. The Nitrobacter species of bacteria then convert the nitrite to nitrate. This byproduct of the nitrogen cycle is generally considered harmless to aquarium fish at low levels. Algae and plants then utilize the nitrate to naturally lower nitrate levels.
