- Ammonia (NH3)
- Nitrogen in the atmosphere (N2)
- Nitrate
- Nitrite
- Nitrate
- then forming nitrate ions (NHO-2-> NO3)
- Animal protein
- Plant protein

- Plant protein
- Nitrogen in the atmosphere (N2)
- Nitrification
- Nitrifying bacteria can oxidise ammonia to nitrate in 2 stages
- First forming nitrite ions (NH+4-> NHO-2)
- Nitrite
- then forming nitrate ions (NHO-2-> NO3)

- Microbial saprobionts break down proteins using extracellular protease enzymes
- They remove the amino groups from amino acids using deaminase enzymes from ammonia
- Ammonification
