| Description: This summarizes one of the energy-yielding reactions exploited by nitrifying bacteria. The importance of these bacteria is due to their role in cycling nitrogen. As we saw earlier in this chapter, nitrogen is a key element in the chemical makeup of individual organisms. It also plays a central role in the economy of the entire biosphere. In the Ecological Tools and Approaches section of this chapter, we will see how bacteria can be used to remediate polluted areas.
