description | Chemical pesticides are used widely and their residues are found in the environment. Pesticide pollution has become a global problem. To find an economical, effective and safety way to degrade residues of pesticides in environment, we constructed a genetically engineered bacterium (GEB) having the ability to degrade pesticides, emit green fluorescence and has a containment system by using a dual plasmid expression system. One plasmid contains the genes of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and carboxylesterase B1 (CarE B1), which were cloned downstream of lambda P(L) promoter and expressed constitutively. The gene of CarE B1 encodes an insect-detoxifying enzyme possessing the degradability to organochloride pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, carbamates, and pyrethoid insecticides. The other is the conditional suicide plasmid for containment system, in which the lethal gene used was the nuclease gene of Serratia marcescens without the leader-coding sequence and was placed downstream of T7 promoter. The GEB has wide prospects of application on cleanup of pesticide residues with its degradability to several pesticides and containment system. |
