Upload NowAfter reading this article you will learn about the decomposition of various organic compounds. Different organic residues (plants and animals) contain different groups of organic compounds. So different groups of compounds have their different ease of decomposition. In-spite of having different composition in different organic residues, the ultimate end products of decomposition (particularly of aerobic) […]

4 Microbial Transformations in Autotrophs and Chemolithotrophs
Article shared by :
This article throws light upon the five microbial transformations that take place in autotrophs and chemolithotrophs. The transformations are: 1. Nitrogen Fixation 2. Oxidation of H2S with Reduction of CO2 3. Oxidation of N with Reduction of CO2 4. Oxidation of Reduced C Transformation # 1. Nitrogen Fixation: After C fixation through photosynthesis, N2 fixation […]
