Answer:
Ammonification is when the organic ammonium is converted into ammonia. Nitrogen fixing is converting nitrogen into nitrogen-containing compounds.

Answer:
- Nitrogen Fixation: Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), discovered by Beijerinck in 1901 (Beijerinck 1901), is carried out by a specialized group of prokaryotes. These organisms utilize the enzyme nitrogenase to catalyze the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3). Plants can readily assimilate NH3 to produce the aforementioned nitrogenous biomolecules. These prokaryotes include aquatic organisms, such as cyanobacteria, free-living soil bacteria, such as Azotobacter, bacteria that form associative relationships with plants, such as Azospirillum, and most importantly, bacteria, such as Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium, that form symbioses with legumes and other plants (Postgate 1982). These organisms are summarized in
- Ammonification is a part of the nitrogen cycle, where organisms are provided with essential nitrogen that they need to survive. Ammonification is the process where microscopic organisms like bacteria or other types of decomposing organisms, break down nitrogen containing chemicals from dead organic matter, into simple substances like ammonia. These simpler substances help in sustaining the ecosystem.

Ammonification is to convert an NH2 group of an organic compound into NH3 or NH4^+ ion which will be used by plants as source of “N” nutrient. This happens in the soil with the help of bacteria.
Ammonification is to convert an NH2 group of an organic compound into NH3 or NH4^+ ion which will be used by plants as source of “N” nutrient. This happens in the soil with the help of bacteria.R-CH(NH2)-COOH + H2O (+ bacteria) → R-COOH + NH3

This is also brought by bacteria present in the root nodules.

Their end product is Quite similar.
