Aliphatic dinitriles undergo regioselective hydrolysis with the title organism to give monoacids with up to four methylenes between the nitrile functions (optimally 2-3) or when either an oxygen is placed β, γ or δ to the nitrile (δ-placement being optimal) or β or γ (optimally γ) but not δ sulfur substituents are present; nitrogen substituents appear to behave as for oxygen but suffer a steric limitation of the size of the nitrogen substituent.
