Aliphatic dinitriles undergo regioselective hydrolysis with the title
organism to give monoacids with up to four methylenes between the nitrile
functions (optimally 2–3) or when either an oxygen is placed β,
γ or δ to the nitrile (δ-placement being optimal) or
β or γ (optimally γ) but not δ sulfur substituents
are present; nitrogen substituents appear to behave as for oxygen but
suffer a steric limitation of the size of the nitrogen substituent.
脂肪族二腈在该有机体的催化下发生区域选择性
水解,生成单酸,腈基之间最多可有四个亚甲基(最优为2-3个),或者当氧原子位于腈的β、γ或δ位时(以δ位最佳),或者在β或γ位时(最优为γ),但如果存在δ位的
硫取代基则不行;氮取代基的行为类似于氧,但受到氮取代基尺寸的空间限制。
