Inhibition of Chlorination in Streptomyces aureofaciens by Nitriles and Related Compounds

Joseph J Goodman 1, Mary Matrishin 1
PMCID: PMC444375  PMID: 4208277

Abstract

A number of nitriles and cyano compounds inhibited chlorination by Streptomyces aureofaciens. In most cases, this inhibition was enhanced by bromide. Methylene blue and p-amino-propiophenone reversed the inhibition to some extent.
