Vedclass · Answer

(D) Thiobacillus is a genus of bacteria known for its role in the nitrogen cycle,specifically in the process of denitrification.Denitrification is the process by which nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ is reduced to nitrogen gas $(N_2)$ or nitrous oxide $(N_2O)$.This process is carried out by denitrifying bacteria such as Pseudomonas and Thiobacillus in soil,which helps in returning nitrogen to the atmosphere.
