The regulation of nitrile-hydratase biosynthese was studied in Brevibacterium sp R 312. Enzyme biosynthesis was not influenced by any carbon and nitrogen source used in the growth medium. It was, however, repressed by amide and amide analogues. Acetamide repressed nitrile-hydratase biosynthesis and induced the wide-spectrum amidase. Therefore, it appeared reasonable to hypothesize a single repressor gene for the nitrile-hydratase/wide-spectrum amidase system.

Transition metal homeostasis ensures that cells and organisms obtain sufficient metal to meet cellular demand while dispensing with any excess so as to avoid toxicity. In bacteria, zinc restriction induces the expression of one or more Zur (zinc-uptake repressor)-regulated Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG) COG0523 proteins. COG0523 proteins encompass a poorly understood sub-family of G3E P-loop small GTPases, others of which are known to function as metallochaperones in the maturation of cobalamin (CoII) and NiII cofactor-containing metalloenzymes.

Background: Flonicamid (N-cyanomethyl-4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide, FLO) is a new type of pyridinamide insecticide that regulates insect growth. Because of its wide application in agricultural production and high solubility in water, it poses potential risks to aquatic environments and food chain.
Results: In the present study, Ensifer adhaerens CGMCC 6315 was shown to efficiently transform FLO into N-(4-trifluoromethylnicotinoyl) glycinamide (TFNG-AM) via a hydration pathway mediated by two nitrile hydratases, PnhA and CnhA.

Flonicamid (N-cyanomethyl-4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide, FLO) is a new type of pyridinecarboxamide insecticide that exhibits particularly good efficacy in pest control. However, the extensive use of FLO in agricultural production poses environmental risks. Hence, its environmental behavior and degradation mechanism have received increasing attention.

bacteria are a promising platform for biodegradation, biocatalysis, and biosynthesis, but the use of rhodococci is hampered by the insufficient number of both platform strains for expression and promoters that are functional and thoroughly studied in these strains. To expand the list of such strains and promoters, we studied the expression capability of the M33 strain, and the functioning of a set of recombinant promoters in it. We showed that the strain supports superexpression of the target enzyme (nitrile hydratase) using alternative inexpensive feedings-acetate and urea-without growth factor supplementation, thus being a suitable expression platform.

Pseudomonas chlororaphis B23 yields nitrile hydratase (NHase) used for the production of 5-cyanovaleramide at the industrial level. Although the nhpC gene (known as P47K) located just downstream of the NHase structural genes (nhpAB) has been important for efficient NHase expression, the key role of nhpC remains poorly studied. Here, we purified two NHases expressed in the presence and absence of nhpC, respectively, and characterized them.
