Abstract
A bacterial strain of Rhodococcus biphenylivorans named Palladio 22 and registered at the BCCM-LMG Bacteria Collection under registration number LMG P-29520. A method is provided for the production of acrylamide following hydration of acrylonitrile using a biomass of the bacterial strain.
Claims14
A method for producing acrylamide, comprising:
- hydrating acrylonitrile in an aqueous solution using a biomass consisting essentially of a bacterium Rhodococcus biphenylivorans strain Palladio 22, registered at Belgian Coordinated Collections of Microorganisms-Laboratorium voor Microbiologie, Universiteit Gent (BCCM-LMG) under registration number LMG P-29520,
- wherein said hydrating the acrylonitrile yields acrylamide at a concentration between 30 to 57.5% (weight/weight) of the aqueous solution.
