Hello mate

Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia or ammonium to nitrite followed by the oxidation of the nitrite to nitrate. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is usually the rate limiting step of nitrification. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.

Ammonia is 1st oxidised to nitrite by the bacteria Nitrosomonas and or Micrococcus .
The nitrite is further oxidised to nitrate with the help of bacterium Nitrobacter. These steps are called Nitrification.
