The invention relates to novel micro-organisms which are capable of tolerati ng an acetonitrile concentration of at least 3 M, in addition to a novel method for producing amides of general formula (III) wherein R1 represents a C1-6 alkyl radical, a C2-6 alkenyl group or a group of general formula (IV), wherein X represents a nitrogen atom or -CH= and R2 and R3 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-6 alkyl group or a C2-6 alkenyl group, based on the corresponding nitriles using said micro-organism s. The invention also relates to the use of said micro-organisms for eliminatin g acetonitrile residues. |
