Biosynthesis of benzoylformic acid from benzoyl cyanide by a newly isolatedRhodococcussp. CCZU10-1 in toluene–water biphasic system

Bioresour. Technol. 115 , 88-95, (2012)

Benzoylformic acid was synthesized from the hydrolysis of benzoyl cyanide by a newly isolated Rhodococcus sp. CCZU10-1. In this study, an aqueous–toluene biphasic system was developed for highly effic...
