Conversion of sterically demanding α,α-disubstituted phenylacetonitriles by the arylacetonitrilase from Pseudomonas fluorescens EBC191.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 78 , 48 - 57, (2012)

The nitrilase from Pseudomonas fluorescens EBC191 converted 2-methyl-2-phenylpropionitrile, which contains a quaternary carbon atom in the α-position toward the nitrile group, and also similar sterica...

Heterologous expression, purification and characterization of nitrilase from Aspergillus niger K10.

BMC Biotechnol. 11 , 2, (2011)

Nitrilases attract increasing attention due to their utility in the mild hydrolysis of nitriles. According to activity and gene screening, filamentous fungi are a rich source of nitrilases distinct in...

Production of S-(+)-2-phenylpropionic acid from (R,S)-2-phenylpropionitrile by the combination of nitrile hydratase and stereoselective amidase in Rhodococcus equi TG328.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 39(6) , 720-5, (1993)

A new soil isolate, tentatively identified as Rhodococcus equi TG328, was found to be effective in the production of S-(+)-2-phenylpropionic acid from (R,S)-2-phenylpropionitrile. The conversion is ca...
