NOVEL MICROORGANISMS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AMIDE COMPOUNDS

摘要

Nitrile compounds having a complicated structure (2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyronitrile, etc.) are converted into amide compounds at a high production efficiency with the use of novel microorganisms having a specific base sequence as the 16S rRNA gene base sequence. Examples of these microorganisms include Rhodococcus sp. Cr4 strain and Rhodococcus sp. Am8 strain.
