Abstract excerpt
Mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes capable of metabolizing nitriles were recovered from deep-sea sediments and terrestrial soils by enrichment culture on acetonitrile, benzonitrile, succinonitrile or bromoxynil. A total of 43 nitrile-degrading strains were isolated and, together with previously recovered nitrile-degrading rhodococci, were identified by a polyphasic taxonomic approach, which included mycolic...
