Popis: Three Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates, KKWT11, CBF10-1, TTF10, were collected from organophosphate (OP)-contaminated soil in the Houston metropolitan area. A conserved metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) enzyme purported to function as a methyl parathion hydrolase was identified and found to be distantly homologous to the characterized Pseudomonas sp. WBC-3 methyl parathion hydrolase and shared no significant homology with other organophosphate hydrolases. Following expression of MBL enzymes cloned from S. maltophilia strains KKWT11, CBF10-1, and TTF10, respectively, an enzymatic preference for paraoxon was observed, with concentrations of 70, 40, and 30 µM of p-nitrophenol (PNP) formed after 48 h. Comparatively limited hydrolysis against the phosphorothioate methyl parathion was recorded with concentrations of PNP ranging from 9.5 to 3.5 µM after 48 h. A coexpressive construct harboring a modified organophosphorus hydrolase enzyme and the CBF10-1 MBL enzyme yielded only a slight improvement in degrad...
