Abstract: We cloned two organophosphorus hydrolase genes mpd and ophc2 from an organophosphorus pesticide-degrading bacteria Pseudomonas stutzeri YC-YH1. The two genes were inserted into the expression vector pET-32a and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3)respectively. We used Ni-affinity column to purify enzymes and then study the nature of the two enzymes. It was suggested that the optimal temperature of MPH is 40℃, and the MPH displays high activity in the pH range of 8 to 12. The optimal temperature of OPHC2 is 30℃. In the pH ranging of 8 to12, OPHC2 has higher activity. The mixture of MPH and OPHC2 in theproportion of1:1 showsed higher activity in the range of 30℃ to 40℃, the enzyme showsed more than 95% activity in the range of pH8-12. A variety of metalions affect the activity of the enzymes and the enzymes are sensitive to SDS and EDTA, but the compound could reduce the sensitivity to the metalions.

Key words: organophosphorus hydrolase gene, MPH, OPHC2, purification, enzymatic property
