Answer with Explanation:

These species have different structural composition therefore they possess bacterial resistance towards disinfectants. As Bacillus megaterium belongs to spore producing family therefor it is said that they are most difficult to kill followed by Mycrobacterium bovis having a thick wall with waxy coating. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative cell and staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacteria.

By following order, you rank their susceptibility to disinfection:

Least Susceptible > Most Susceptible

Bacillus megaterium>Mycrobacterium bovis>Pseudomonas aeruginosa>staphylococcus aureus

How does inorganic nitrogen from the atmosphere<br> (N2) get into living systems?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

When an organism excretes or dies, nitrogen is in the form of organic nitrogen in its tissues (e.g. amino acids, DNA). During the ammonification process, many fungi and prokaryotes then break the tissue down and release inorganic Nitrogen into the atmosphere as ammonia.

Explanation:

Plants use their roots for nitrogen compounds. When they consume the seeds, animals acquire certain chemicals. When plants and livestock die, or animals excrete waste, the organic nitrogen compounds return to the soil, where microorganisms known as decomposers break down their compounds.
