Abstract:
PURPOSE: A fenitrothion hydrolase gene is provided to be used in bioremediation in a fenitrothion-polluted soil. CONSTITUTION: A fenitrothion hydrolase gene has a base sequence encoding amino acid sequence of sequence number 3. A fenitrothion hydrolase protein has an amino acid sequence of sequence number 3. A recombinant vector, pUC19-ORF has the fenitrothion hydrolase gene. A cell transformed by the reacombinant vector is E. coli DH10B/pUC19-ORF. A composition for removing agricultural chemical contains the gene or protein. The agricultural chemical is an organophosphorus insecticide. The organophosphorus insecticide is fenitrothion, parathion, methyl parathion, EPN(O-ehtyl O-p-nitrophenyl phenylphosphonothioate), or malathion.
