Nitrile Biotransformation

Nitrile Biotransformation is a microbial biotransformation process in which nitrile compounds are enzymatically converted into corresponding carboxylic acids, amides, or amines through hydrolysis or reduction reactions mediated by nitrile-converting enzymes such as nitrilases or nitrile hydratases.
