Answers (1)
Thiobacillus bacteria are known for carrying out denitrification because they have the capability to convert nitrate into nitrogen gas under anaerobic conditions. Denitrification is an important process in the nitrogen cycle as it helps remove excess nitrogen from ecosystems. Thiobacillus bacteria play a role in this process by utilizing nitrate as an alternative electron acceptor and converting it into nitrogen gas.
