A simple, efficient and rapid screening technique for differentiating nitrile hydratase and nitrilase producing bacteria

Nitrile hydrolyzing enzymes catalyze the hydration of nitrile compounds to corresponding amides and acids. Bacteria, isolated from soil samples were screened for nitrile hydrolyzing enzymes by simple dye based 96 well plate and nesslerization method. Bromothymol blue was used as an indicator for the...
