Vedclass · Answer

(C) Denitrification is the process of reducing nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ present in the soil into gaseous nitrogen $(N_2)$.This process is carried out by specific denitrifying bacteria.Common examples of denitrifying bacteria include $Pseudomonas$ and $Thiobacillus$.$Nitrosomonas$ is involved in the process of nitrification,where ammonia is converted into nitrite,not denitrification.Therefore,both $Thiobacillus$ and $Pseudomonas$ are responsible for denitrification.
