Nitrifying bacteria

The function of nitrifying bacteria is to convert ammonia and nitrous acid, which are harmful to aquatic organisms in the water body, into nitric acid with weaker toxicity. Then, the nitric acid combines with metal ions in the water to form nitrates. The nitrates can be absorbed by algae or plants in the water, forming a virtuous cycle, which is beneficial to the purification and stabilization of water quality.

Application Areas:

Aquaculture: In aquaculture, nitrifying bacteria are of crucial importance for maintaining the water quality of the cultured water body. It can reduce the concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water, lessen the toxicity to aquatic organisms such as fish and shrimp, decrease the risk of diseases in fish and shrimp, and improve the success rate of aquaculture.

Aquarium: In household aquariums, nitrifying bacteria can help establish a stable ecosystem, keep the water clean, reduce the frequency of water changes, and provide a favorable living environment for ornamental fish.

Sewage Treatment: During the sewage treatment process, nitrifying bacteria can convert the ammonia nitrogen in the sewage into nitrates, thereby reducing the nitrogen content in the sewage and achieving the purpose of purifying the water quality.
