Growth potentials of nitrile-metabolizing bacteria on nitriles
Bacillus sp. and Corynebacterium sp. had doubling times of 12.16 and 9.46 (µ = 0.082, 0.106) on glutaronitrile (single substrate) (Table 2), while doubling times of 7.40 and 7.75 (µ = 0.135, 0.129) were recorded for the mixed culture on glutaronitrile (single substrate) and mixed substrates (glutaronitrile and benzonitrile) (Table 2). Similarly, Bacillus sp. and Corynebacterium sp. had doubling times of 11.11 and 10.00 (µ = 0.090, 0.100) on benzonitrile (single substrate), while doubling times of 8.09 and 8.71 (µ = 0.124, 0.115) were recorded for the mixed culture on benzonitrile (single substrate) and mixed substrates ...
