Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Helps in converting inert nitrogen gas into a usable form for the plants through the biochemical process. In the process of ammonification, the bacteria help in decomposing the animal and plant matter, which indirectly helps to clean up the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the fifth stage of the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen returns to the air as nitrates are converted to atmospheric nitrogen (N2) by bacteria through the process we call denitrification.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nitrosomonas bacteria first convert nitrogen gas to nitrite (NO2-) and subsequently nitrobacter convert nitrite to nitrate (NO3-), a plant nutrient.
