Nitrilase enzymes specific for the hyrdolsis of the nitrile group of bromoxynil, nucleotide sequences encoding for such enzymes, and transformed cells in which the nitrilase expression if foreign are provided. The transformed cells are capable of expressing the nitrilase enzyme to provide detoxification of an environment and protect bromoxynil-sensitive cells from its cytotoxic effect. Particularly, plants are developed which are resistant to bromoxynil. E. coli MM294 strain (pBrx5) was deposited at the A.T.C.C. on Jan. 22, 1986 and given Accession no. 53435. E. coli MM294 strain (pBrx11) was deposited at the A.T.C.C. on June 18, 1987 and given Accession no. 67441. E. coli MM294 strain (pBrx23) was deposited at the A.T.C.C. on June 18, 1987 and given Accession no. 67442. |
