Nitrile substrate profiles were determined for a wide range of microorganisms. Isolated bacteria and yeast were enriched on nitriles as the sole nitrogen source. Aliphatic and aromatic nitriles were investigated, as well as structurally related amides. Nitrile hydrolysis was determined by HPLC, GC, LC-MS and GC- MS. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and various colorimetric assays were also evaluated as analytical tools
