Iminodiacetic acid has important applications in the chemical industry for the manufacture of chelating agents, herbicide, and surfactants, especially for the production of herbicide glyphosate, for which there is a huge demand in the field of agriculture. Bioconversion of iminodiacetonitrile using nitrilase is an attractive method for...
