Ten bacterial isolates capable of growth on tetracyanonickelate(II) [K2[Ni(CN)4]] (TCN) as the sole nitrogen source were isolated from soil, freshwater, and sewage sludge enrichments. Seven of the 10 were identified as pseudomonads, while the remaining 3 were classified as Klebsiella

Tetracyanonickelate (Ni(CN)4(2-)) was used as a probe for the active site of sulfur-free rhodanese (E) in physical and kinetic studies. Ni(CN)4(2-) quenches the intrinsic fluorescence as well as the fluorescence of enzyme-bound 2-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (2,8-ANS), an inhibitor that is competitive

A fungus with the ability to utilize a metalcyano compound, tetracyanonickelate (II) ¿K2[Ni (CN)4]; TCN¿, as its sole source of nitrogen was isolated from soil and identified as Fusarium oxysporum N-10. Both intact mycelia and cell-free extract of the strain

The ability of Azotobacter vinelandii, a N(2)-fixing bacterium, to biodegrade tetracyanonickelate (TCN) was evaluated. The amounts of TCN were measured spectrophotometrically. Ammonia was determined colorimetrically by the indophenol method. The produced methane from TCN conversion by A. vinelandii was detected
