Abstract

A microbiological process for the production of 6-hydroxynicotinic acid starting from 3-cyanopyridine. For this process, new microorganisms are used, which are capable of growing with 3-cyanopyridine as the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source and of biotransforming it as substrate in 6-hydroxynicotinic acid.
