C) fix nitrogen gas.
D) degrade neurotoxins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nitrogen fixation is a process of converting atmospheric nitrogen gas into a usable form of nitrogen in the soil. Some bacterial phototrophs have the ability to fix nitrogen, which is an important function in many ecosystems. Bioluminescence, prosthecate and stalked cell formation, and degradation of neurotoxins are not directly related to the functional diversity of bacterial phototrophs utilizing light as an energy source.
