DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
In a process for preparing an organic acid which comprises converting a nitrile compound by the action thereupon of a nitrilase enzyme inherent in a microorganism into the corresponding organic acid, the improved process comprising converting the nitrile into the corresponding acid by the action of a nitrilase enzyme obtained by culturing a microbial strain of Rhodococcus selected from the group consisting of Rhodococcus rhodochrous J-1 Ferm BP-1478, Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC 33278, Rhodococcus sp.
NCIB 11215 and Rhodococcus sp.
NCIB 11216 in the presence of a lactam compound contained in the range of 0.
05 to 2.
0 w/v in the culture medium in which the strain of Rhodococcus is cultured.
2.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the Rhodococcus rhodochrous is selected from the group consisting of Rh.
rhodochrousJ-1, FERM BP-1478 and Rh.
rhodochrous ATCC 33278.
3.
The process as claimed in claim 2, wherein the Rhodococcus rhodochrous is Rh.
rhodochrous J-1, FERM BP-1478.
4.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the Rhodococcus is selected from the group consisting of Rhodococcus sp.
NCIB 11215 and Rhodococcus sp.
NCIB 11216.
5.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lactam compound is selected from the group of cyclic intramolecular amides of 4 to 6 carbon atoms.
6.
The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the nitrile compound is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic and aromatic mononitriles and dinitriles.
7.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nitrile compound is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic mononitrile and dinitrile having 2 to 6 carbon atoms.
8.
The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the nitrile compound is acrylonitrile.
9.
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the nitrile compound is selected from the group consisting of aromatic mononitrile and dinitrile having 4 to 10 carbon atoms in its aromatic nucleous.
10.
The process as claimed in claim 9, wherein the nitrile compound is an aromatic nitrile selected from the group consisting of: ##STR8## wherein R
