Most autotrophic bacteria seem to grow best in soils that are well supplied with humus, which serves as a source of carbon dioxide, mineral nutrients, and acts as buffer against acids and alkalies. The most studied autotrophic genera are Nitrosomonas which oxidizes ammonia to nitrite, and Nitrobacter that converts the nitrite to nitrate. [Pg.701]
