2,6-Pyridinedicarbonitrile (1a) and 2,4-pyridinedicarbonitrile (2a) were hydrated by Rhodococcus erythropolis A4 to 6-cyanopyridine-2-carboxamide (1b; 83% yield) and 2-cyanopyridine-4-carboxamide (2b; 97% yield), respectively, after 10 min. After 118 h, the intermediates 1b or 2b were transformed into 2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (1c; 35% yield)
