The anaerobic utilisation of cyanide in the presence of sugars by microbial cultures can involve an abiotic process.

K M Hope1, C J Knowles.   

Abstract

The degradation of cyanide under anaerobic conditions in the presence of a growing culture of a strain of Klebsiella planticola has been shown to be due to a chemical process dependent upon the presence of a reducing sugar in the medium. The conversion of cyanide to ammonia was independent of any biological factors under these conditions.
