Solution (By Examveda Team)
Monera kingdom contains species that can convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate.Monera "single" is a biological kingdom that is made up of prokaryotes. As such, it is composed of single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus.
Nitrobacter plays an important role in the nitrogen cycle by oxidizing nitrite into nitrate in soil and marine systems. Nitrobacter uses energy from the oxidation of nitrite ions, NO2-, into nitrate ions, NO3-, to fulfill their energy needs. Nitrobacter fixes carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle for its carbon requirements. Nitrobacter belongs to the Alphaproteobacteria class of the Pseudomonadota.
