(a) Nitrification.
Explanation:
Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter are nitrifying bacteria involved in the nitrification phase of the nitrogen cycle. Nitrosomonas converts ammonium (NH₄⁺) to nitrite (NO₂⁻), and Nitrobacter further transforms nitrite (NO₂⁻) into nitrate (NO₃⁻). This process is essential for maintaining soil fertility and the proper balance of nitrogen availability for plant growth.
