Abstract
In a process for hydrating a nitrile having 2 to 4 carbon atoms by a microbiological treatment to convert the nitrile into the corresponding amide, it is possible to biologically prepare the corresponding amide effectively by utilizing a microorganism of the genus Pseudomonas which is capable of hydrating the nitrile to convert the same into the corresponding amide. In particular, it is possible to obtain acrylamides which are highly useful polymers by the very simple and energy-saving process in accordance with the present invention.
