Reaction carried out by fixing microbes include
(i) 2NH3 + 3O2 \(\rightarrow\) \(2NO_2^-\) + 2H+ + 2H2O
(ii) \(2NO_2^-\) + O2 \(\rightarrow\) 2NO3
Select the false statement:
1. (i) is carried out by Nitrosomonas or Nitrococcus
2. (ii) is carried out by Nitrobacter
3. Both (i) and (ii) can be called nitrification
4. Bacteria carrying out (i) and (ii) are usually photoautotrophs
