Autotrophic nitrifying microorganisms, such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, are microorganisms that do not use organic carbon in their metabolism but rather rely on mineral salts and carbonates, a composition found in the bio-stimulator N702 Trace Elements.
Nitrifying microorganisms often face growth difficulties in wastewater treatment systems due to essential trace elements that accelerate their growth being naturally deficient or imbalanced in industrial effluents.
