Acetonitrile Biotransformation into Less Toxic Compounds by a Bioprocess Based on the Nitrile Hydratase/Amidase Sequential Enzymatic Reactions

The nitrile hydratase/amidase in-situ sequential enzymes of Microbacterium imperiale CBS 498-74 were used, as biocatalysts, for the biotransformation of acetonitrile streams into less toxic compounds: the corresponding acetamide and acetic acid. This preliminary study aimed to investigate the possib...
