Whats the specific names of the nitrifying bacteria?

[tcarswell]

I am curious what the specific bacteria's names are that turn ammonia into nitrite and then the bacteria that turns nitrite in to nitrates. Any help is appreciated.

from what i learned in biology class lol

NH4 and NH3 turn into NO3 + H and then
NO3 turns into N02 throught a natural cycle.

i've never heard of bacteria that change them.
just heard of it as a cycle.

Thanks ! My moms curious . I could not begin to understand this type of stuff. I know what to test for and how to cycle a tank but this kind of stuff stumps me
