Biotechnology Letters published new progress about Fermentation. 42872-30-0 belongs to class nitriles-buliding-blocks, name is 2-(3-Benzoylphenyl)propanenitrile, and the molecular formula is C16H13NO, Application of 2-(3-Benzoylphenyl)propanenitrile.

Layh, Norman published the artcileEnantioselective hydrolysis of ketoprofen amide by Rhodococcus sp. C3II and Rhodococcus erythropolis MP 50, Application of 2-(3-Benzoylphenyl)propanenitrile, the main research area is enantioselective hydrolysis ketoprofen amide Rhodococcus.

The resolution of racemic ketoprofen amide by whole cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis MP 50 and Rhodococcus sp. C3II was studied. With both strains, racemic ketoprofen amide was converted to S-ketoprofen with an enantiomeric excess >97% at a conversion rate up to 40% of the theor. value. The sp. activity of strain MP 50 for ketoprofen amide was ∼0.12 μmol/min-mg dry weight and the substrate was converted for several hours at a constant rate.
