ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for microorganisms capable of tolerating acetonitrile concentrations of at least 3 M, enzyme extracts obtainable from these microorganisms, a nitrile hydratase obtainable from these microorganisms, a method for preparing amides using these microorganisms, the enzyme extracts or the nitrile hydratase obtainable therefrom, and a method for removing acetonitrile from solutions using these microorganisms, the enzyme extracts or the nitrile hydratase obtainable therefrom.
