Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis biotransformation of acrylonitrile by thermophilic nitrilase from Streptomyces sp. MTCC 7546. Enzyme converts nitriles to acids without the formation of amides. Immobilization of whole cells in agar-agar or beads allows for 25 cycles at 50°C with conversion of 71% of acrylonitrile to acid at 6 h and 100% conversion at 3 h by free cells Streptomyces sp.
