Abstract

A microbiological process for the production of 6-hydroxypicolinic acid starting from 2-cyanopyridine. For this process new microorganisms are used, which are capable of growing with 2-cyanopyridine as the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source and of converting it as the substrate into 6-hydroxypicolinic acid.
