Bioremediation technology for post harvest and environmental cleanup of pesticide residue

An organophosphate hydrolyzing enzyme was isolated, cloned and formulated at CSIRO, Canberra, Australia. The enzyme was found to be stable under varying conditions of pH, temperature and water hardness. The enzyme was tested as post harvest dip to hydrolyze aromatic organophosphate residues (fenitro...

Summary:An organophosphate hydrolyzing enzyme was isolated, cloned and formulated at CSIRO, Canberra, Australia. The enzyme was found to be stable under varying conditions of pH, temperature and water hardness. The enzyme was tested as post harvest dip to hydrolyze aromatic organophosphate residues (fenitrothion, phenthoate, diazinon, profenofos and chlorpyrifos) on selected horticultural crops (eggplant, tomato, mango, bittergourd) under laboratory and field conditions. The application protocols and optimum conditions for removing these residues from the crops were studied. The organophosphate hydrolyzing enzyme was studied for environmental cleanup in Australia under various conditions: waste/recycled irrigation waters, decontamination of animal dips, point source pollution, spills, decontamination of spray equipment, contaminated evaporation ponds and soil. Landguard, a formulation containing the enzyme, was tested on environmental residues of diazinon, methyl parathium, chlorpyrifos and protenophos.
