Abstract

The conversion of organic nitrogen to the more mobile, inorganic state is known as nitrogen mineralization. Microorganisms with different physiological properties take part in this process. In the first step, ammonium is formed from organic compounds (ammonification); in the second step, ammonium is oxidized to nitrate (nitrification).
