Hello there.
Article
Alright, so here's the article I found: Hydrogen powers important nitrogen-transforming bacteria, Science Codex, updated 29 August 2014, accessed 12 September 2014 (Manage the nitrogen cycle)
Basically for a while people have thought that nitrite oxidizing bacteria have been relying mostly on nitrite as their source of energy, but scientists found that they also depend on hydrogen. This helps with the Grand Challenge of managing the nitrogen cycle because to support the nitrite oxidizing bacteria, scientists know they can use hydrogen as an energy source, and this can help them manage the nitrogen cycle.
