<i>Nocardia globerula</i>NHB-2: a versatile nitrile-degrading organism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A versatile nitrile-degrading bacterium was isolated by enrichment culture from the soil of a forest near Manali, Himachal Pradesh, India, and was identified as Nocardia globerula. This organism contains 3 enzymes with nitrile-degrading activity: nitrilase, nitrile hydratase, and amidase. Nocardia globerula NHB-2 cells grown on nutrient broth supplemented with 1% glucose and 0.1% yeast extract exhibited nitrile hydratase-amidase activity specific for saturated aliphatic nitriles or amide, while addition of acetonitrile in nutrient broth yielded cells with nitrile hydratase-amidase that in addition to saturated aliphatic nitriles-amide also hydrolyzed aromatic amide. Nocardia globerula NHB-2 cultivated on nutrient broth containing propionitrile exhibited nitrilase activity that hydrolyzed aromatic nitrile and unsaturated aliphatic nitrile. The versatility of this organism in the hydrolysis of various nitriles and amides makes it a potential bioresource for use in organic synthesis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
