4.2.1.104 | Cyanate + bicarbonate |
enzyme could play a role in destroying exogenous cyanate originating from the dissociation of carbamoyl compounds such as urea, alternatively cyanate might constitute a convenient nitrogen source for bacteria able to synthesize cyanase in an inducible way |
4.2.1.104 | Cyanate + bicarbonate |
breakdown of the inhibitory substance |
4.2.1.104 | Cyanate + bicarbonate |
cyanase-deficient strains have increased sensitivity to cyanate and are not able to use cyanate as nitrogen source |
4.2.1.104 | cyanate + HCO3- + 2 H+ |
- |
4.2.1.104 | more |
activity is induced during growth with cyanide or cyanate, but not with ammonium or nitrate as the nitrogen source |
4.2.1.104 | more |
no activity in cells grown with ammonium, nitrate, arginine or ornithine as N sources, cyanase of this strain has an assimilatory role but is not essential for cyanide assimilation |
4.2.1.104 | NCO- + HCO3- + 2 H+ |
utilization of CN and SCN as nitrogen sources, cyanase activity present if grown with SCN- and CN- |
4.2.1.104 | NCO- + HCO3- + H+ |

4.2.1.104 | NCO- + HCO3- + H+ |
cyanase activity in Thiohalophilus thiocyanoxidans, role in thiocyanate decomposition suggested |
