Question

Where do nitrosomonas and nitobacters derive their energy from?
class 10 standard answer is requested

Answer 1

*Nitrosomonas*

These use electrons from the oxidation of ammonia to produce energy. ... Unlike plants, which fix carbon into sugar through energy gained through the process of photosynthesis, Nitrosomonas use energy gained through the oxidation of ammonia to fix gaseous carbon dioxide into organic molecules.

*Nitrobacters*

Nitrite is not a particularly favourable substrate from which to gain energy. ... As a result, Nitrobacter has developed a highly specialized metabolism to derive energy from the oxidation of nitrite. Cells in the genus Nitrobacter reproduce by budding or binary fission.
