Popis: The biodegradation of pesticides by organophosphorus hydrolases (OPHs) requires an efficient enzyme production technology in industry. Herein, a Pichia pastoris strain was constructed for the extracellular expression of PoOPHM9, an engineered malathion-degrading enzyme. After optimization, the maximum titer and yield of fermentation reached 50.8 kU/L and 4.1 gprotein/L after 3 days, with the highest space-time yield (STY) reported so far, 640 U L–1 h–1. PoOPHM9 displayed its high activity and stability in the presence of 0.1% (w/w) plant-derived detergent. Only 0.04 mg/mL enzyme could completely remove 0.15 mM malathion in aqueous solution within 20 min. Furthermore, 12 μmol malathion on apples and cucumbers surfaces was completely removed by 0.05 mg/mL PoOPHM9 in tap water after 35 min washing. The efficient production of the highly active PoOPHM9 has cleared a major barrier to biodegradation of pesticide residues in food industry.
