The present invention relates to novel methods for biocatalytic production of nitriles from oximes using oxime dehydratases and novel mutants with oxime dehydratase activity and use thereof in a process for biocatalytic production of nitriles, such as in particular for the production of citral nitrile, neral nitrile, geranial nitrile or citronellyl nitrile from citral oxime, neral oxime, geranial oxime or citronellal oxime; and oxime dehydratases usable therefor, nucleotide sequences therefor and expression constructs or microorganisms comprising these.
