Isolation of methyl parathion-degrading strain M6 and cloning of the methyl parathion hydrolase gene.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A degradative bacterium, M6, was isolated and presumptively identified as Plesiomonas sp. strain M6 was able to hydrolyze methyl parathion to p-nitrophenol. A novel organophosphate hydrolase gene designated mpd was selected from its genomic library prepared by shotgun cloning. The nucleotide sequence of the mpd gene was determined. The gene could be effectively expressed in Escherichia coli.

Isolation and Identification of Potential Methyl Parathion Degrading Bacteria from Gwalior Arable Soil
Twenty one bacterial isolates were isolated from methyl parathion treated agricultural soil from in and around the Gwalior city, Madhya Pradesh to study the degradation of Methyl Parathion. Isolation was done by enrichment in Basal mineral medium with 50 mg/L methyl parathion as sole carbon and energy source. No supplement as a carbon and phosphorus source was added in medium. Methyl parathion ...
متن کاملHigh-level expression and secretion of methyl parathion hydrolase in Bacillus subtilis WB800.
The methyl parathion hydrolase (MPH)-encoding gene mpd was placed under the control of the P43 promoter and Bacillus subtilis nprB signal peptide-encoding sequence. High-level expression and secretion of mature, authentic, and stable MPH were achieved using the protease-deficient strain B. subtilis WB800 as the host.

Burkholderia sp. strain MP-1 was isolated from pesticide-contaminated soil. Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of strain MP-1, which contains 168 contigs of 8,611,053 bp, with a G+C content of 62.55% and 7,631 protein-coding genes.
متن کاملFunctional analysis of organophosphorus hydrolase variants with high degradation activity towards organophosphate pesticides.
Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH, also known as phosphotriesterase) is a bacterial enzyme that is capable of degrading a wide range of neurotoxic organophosphate nerve agents. Directed evolution has been used to generate one variant (22A11) with up to 25-fold improved hydrolysis of methyl parathion. Surprisingly, this variant also degraded all other substrates (paraoxon, parathion and coumaphos)...
متن کاملOptical microbial biosensor for detection of methyl parathion pesticide using Flavobacterium sp. whole cells adsorbed on glass fiber filters as disposable biocomponent.
An optical microbial biosensor was described for the detection of methyl parathion pesticide. Whole cells of Flavobacterium sp. were immobilized by trapping in glass fiber filter and were used as biocomponent along with optic fiber system. Flavobacterium sp. has the organophosphorus hydrolase enzyme, which hydrolyzes the methyl parathion into detectable product p-nitrophenol. The immobilized mi...
