Previous studies have identified that indole-oxidases are present in P. putida, whose major ligands are heterocyclic substrates and have an interesting affinity when the substrate is indole. 771-51-7, formula is C10H8N2, Name is 2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)acetonitrile. These enzymes oxidize the ring so the substrate turns into Indigo. Recommanded Product: 2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)acetonitrile.

Bradyrhizobium japonicum E109 is a bacterium widely used for inoculants production in Argentina. It is known for its ability to produce several phytohormones and degrade indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The genome sequence of B. japonicum E109 was recently analyzed and it showed the presence of genes related to the synthesis of IAA by indole-3-acetonitrile, indole-3-acetamide and tryptamine pathways. Nevertheless, B. japonicum E109 is not able to produce IAA and instead has the ability to degrade this hormone under saprophytic culture conditions. This work aimed to study the mol. and physiol. features of IAA degradation and identify the genes responsible of this activity. In B. japonicum E109 we identified two sequences coding for a putative 3-phenylpropionate dioxygenase (subunits α and β) responsible for the IAA degradation that were homologous to the canonical cluster of iacC and iacD of Pseudomonas putida 1290. These genes form a sep. cluster together with three addnl. genes with unknown functions. The degradation activity was found to be constitutively expressed in B. japonicum E109. As products of IAA degradation, we identified two compounds, 3-indoleacetic acid 2,3-oxide and 2-(2-hydroperoxy-3-hydroxyindolin-3-yl) acetic acid. Our report proposes, for the first time, a model for IAA degradation in Bradyrhizobium.
Recommanded Product: 2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)acetonitrile, 3-Indoleacetonitrile is a plant growth activator, which promotes callus growth and shoot formation in tobacco callus.
3-Indoleacetonitrile (Indolylacetonitrile) is a light-induced auxin-inhibitory substance that is isolated from light-grown cabbage (Brassica olearea L.) shoots. It inhibits the biofilm formation of both E. coli O157:H7 and P. aeruginosa without affecting its growth.
3-Indoleacetonitrile, also known as 3-(cyanomethyl)indole or IAN, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. 3-Indoleacetonitrile exists as a solid and is considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral. Within the cell, 3-indoleacetonitrile is primarily located in the mitochondria. 3-Indoleacetonitrile participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be biosynthesized from acetonitrile. 3-Indoleacetonitrile is also a parent compound for other transformation products, including but not limited to, cys(ian)-gly, gammaglucys(ian), and L-cys(ian). Outside of the human body, 3-indoleacetonitrile can be found in a number of food items such as cloudberry, japanese persimmon, horned melon, and evergreen huckleberry. This makes 3-indoleacetonitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Indole-3-acetonitrile is a nitrile that is acetonitrile where one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 1H-indol-3-yl group. It has a role as an auxin, a plant hormone, a plant metabolite and a human xenobiotic metabolite. It is a nitrile and a member of indoles. It derives from an acetonitrile., 771-51-7.
