A bacterium, utilising acrylonitrile as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen, was isolated from Indian Petrochemical Corporation Limited (IPCL) waste waters and identified as Arthrobacter sp. This strain could also utilize acetonitrile, acetamide and acrylamide individually as a source of carbon and nitrogen. The metabolic studies with the whole cells indicated the sequential conversion of the nitrile to the respective amide and then to the respective acid and ammonia. The rate of nitrile hydrolysis was slower than the corresponding amide hydrolysis. Acrylic acid, the end product of acrylonitrile breakdown, did not support the growth when provided as a carbon source.
从印度石化有限公司（IPCL）的废水中分离出一种细菌，该细菌将丙烯腈作为唯一的碳源和氮源，经鉴定为节杆菌属。该菌株还能分别利用乙腈、乙酰胺和丙烯酰胺作为碳源和氮源。对全细胞的代谢研究表明，腈会依次转化为相应的酰胺，然后再转化为相应的酸和氨。腈水解的速度比相应酰胺水解的速度慢。丙烯腈分解的终产物丙烯酸作为碳源时不能支持生长。
