The NHase/amidase system in R. erythropolis A4 was also used to transform cyano cyclitols into their carboxyhc acid analogs [21, 22]. As these transformations were coupled to lipase-catalyzed hydrolytic reactions, they are described in detail in the section focused on artificial cascades (see the following paragraphs).
