Ammonia

Ammonia is a nitrogen-containing product of microbial urease activity. When urease hydrolyzes urea, ammonia and bicarbonate are produced; in the microbial systems covered by WikiBiome, those products can provide nitrogen and raise local pH maier 2019 nickel microbial pa

Urea

Urea is the substrate of urease. In the microbial systems covered by WikiBiome, urease hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and bicarbonate; those products can supply microbial nitrogen and help neutralize acidic environments maier 2019 nickel microbial pathogenesis. At a glance,
