Nitrosomonas is a bacterium involved in recycling nitrogen in an ecosystem.
Which nitrogen cycle reaction is carried out by Nitrosomonas?
2NH4++3O2→2NO2−+4H++2H2O2\text{NH}_4^+ + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2^- + 4\text{H}^+ + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}2NH4++3O2→2NO2−+4H++2H2O
2NO2−+O2→2NO3−2\text{NO}_2^- + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_3^-2NO2−+O2→2NO3−
N2+8H++8e−→2NH3+H2\text{N}_2 + 8\text{H}^+ + 8\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2N2+8H++8e−→2NH3+H2
NO3−→NO2−→N2O→N2\text{NO}_3^- \rightarrow \text{NO}_2^- \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{N}_2NO3−→NO2−→N2O→N2
