General description

Cyclopentanecarbonitrile is an alicyclic nitrile.

Application

Cyclopentanecarbonitrile is suitable for use as substrate to investigate the specific activity of nitrile- and amide- hydrolyzing enzymes isolated from Candida guilliermondii UFMG-Y65 cells. It is suitable for use as reagent to investigate the nitrile degradation by Candida guilliermondii CCT 7207 using free and immobilized cell systems.

Nitrile degradation by Candida guilliermondii CCT 7207 using free and immobilized cell systems was compared. Different specific growth rates were observed for immobilized (mumax=0.021 h(-1)) and the free cells (mumax=0.029 h(-1)). The maximum specific rate of acetic acid formation was

Candida guilliermondii UFMG-Y65, isolated from a gold mine, was able to utilize different nitriles and the corresponding amides as sole source of nitrogen, at concentrations up to 2 M. Resting cells cultivated on YCB-acetonitrile medium showed nitrile hydrolyzing enzyme activities
