Biotransformation of benzonitrile to benzohydroxamic acid by Rhodococcus rhodochrous in the presence of hydroxylamine
Whole cells of the bacterium Rhodococcus rhodochrous LL100-21, which had been grown on benzonitrile to induce the nitrilase enzyme, converted benzonitrile to benzohydroxamic acid in the presence of hydroxylamine.
