TL;DR: The method was used to screen a library of nitrilase-producing microorganisms, isolated in the authors' laboratory for their ability to enantioselectively hydrolyze mandelonitrile to mandelic acid, an important chiral building block.
Abstract: Based on the color change of an indicator due to the release of hydrogen ion from a nitrilase-catalyzed reaction, a rapid colorimetric method was established for the enantioselective screening of nitrilase-producing microorganisms. The formation of acids due to the nitrilase-mediated hydrolysis of nitriles causes a drop in the pH, which in turn results in a change of color of the solution (containing indicator) that can be observed visually. The buffer (0.01 M phosphate, pH 7.2) and indicator (Bromothymol blue, 0.01%) were selected in such a way that both have the same affinity for the released protons. The enantioselectivity of nitrilases was estimated by comparing the hydrolysis of (R)-mandelonitrile with that of racemate under the same conditions. The method was used to screen a library of nitrilase-producing microorganisms, isolated in the authors' laboratory for their ability to enantioselectively hydrolyze mandelonitrile to mandelic acid, an important chiral building block.
