Denitrifying bacteria convert nitrate into <u>nitrogen gas</u>, thus returning nitrogen to the <u>atmosphere</u>.
Denitrifying bacteria- Numerous phyla are included in the broad class of bacteria known as denitrifying bacteria. This group of bacteria, which is a part of the nitrogen cycle, may carry out denitrification together with denitrifying fungi and archaea.
Phylum (Phyla)- In biology, a phylum is a rank or level of taxonomic categorization that comes after a kingdom but before a class.
