Chemo synthesis

... The ammonia thus produced is oxidized to NO 2 - and then to NO 3 - by nitrite and nitrate bacteria in the soil using O 2 as an oxidizing agent (nitrification, Table 1). These bacteria are autotrophs that use inorganic nitrogen compounds as their energy source and fix carbon dioxide (chemosynthesis) using the energy generated by the oxidation reaction. Nitrite and nitrate bacteria are collectively called nitrifying bacteria, and these two groups of bacteria live ecologically in tandem. ...
