Cyanide Detoxification data file

A phenotypically distinct Yarrowia lipolytica strain that efficiently detoxifies multiple cyanogenic glycosides from edible plants was constructed using a family 1 glycosyl-hydrolase (GH1). It efficiently degraded linamarin, amygdalin, prunasin, and dhurrin in food plants including cassava and germinated sorghum and Apricot seeds.
