For the first time, a bacterial strain expressing a nitrile hydratase/amidase activity was able to recognize a planar element of chirality: Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 whole cells catalysed with a high level of enantioselectivity the biotransformation of a novel nitrile ferrocene derivative into its corresponding amide and/or acid. An important parameter in the enzymatic recognition is the choice of the inducer selected for the bacterial growth phase.

Abstract

For the first time, a bacterial strain expressing a nitrile hydratase/amidase activity was able to recognize a planar element of chirality: Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 whole cells catalysed with a high level of enantioselectivity the biotransformation of a novel nitrile ferrocene derivative into its corresponding amide and/or acid. An important parameter in the enzymatic recognition is the choice of the inducer selected for the bacterial growth phase.
