Production of Iminodiacetic Acid

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

Enzymatic synthesis of iminodiacetic acid from iminodiace-tonitrile. 

Enzymatic synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid from indole-3-acetonitrile. 

Indole-3-acetic acid is regarded as the most abundant natural auxin and was conventionally isolated from plants. It can be used for regulating the plant growth and development processes as it promotes cell enlargement and phototropism and
