Besides its nitrile hydratase and wide spectrum amidase activities, the Brevibacterium sp. R312 strain also possesses a constitutive beta-glucosidase. Its optimum pH is 6. The enzyme was purified by fractionation precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by chromatographic elutions on Q-Sepharose

Abstract
The nitrile hydratase from the mutant strain of Brevibacterium sp. ACV2 was purified and compared to that from the wild type R312. Its molecular weight was estimated at 80000. This enzyme is composed of 2 subβunits with 26000 and 27500 molecular weights. The nitrile hydratase of the mutant strain is different from that of the wild type by its pHi, optimum activity pH, and its rates of hydrolysis of cyanovaleramide and cyanovaleric acid which were 30 and 15 folds greater.
