A mutant hydrolase optionally fused to a protein of interest is provided. The mutant hydrolase is capable of forming a bond with a substrate for the corresponding nonmutant (wild-type) hydrolase which is more stable than the bond formed between the wild-type hydrolase and the substrate and has at least two amino acid substitutions relative to the wild-type hydrolase. Substrates for hydrolases comprising one or more functional groups are also provided, as well as methods of using the mutant hydrolase and the substrates of the invention. Also provided is a fusion protein capable of forming a stable bond with a substrate and cells which express the fusion protein.

The invention relates to haloalkane dehalogenases and to polynucleotides encoding alkane dehalogenases. In addition methods of designing new dehalogenases and of use thereof are also provided. The dehalogenases have increased activity and at increased pH and temperature.

The present invention relates to a near-universal non-corrosive, non-toxic, environmentally safe and user friendly decontaminant capable of detoxifying organophosphorus (OP)-based G-type, V-type neurotoxic chemical warfare, sulfur-mustard, and related OP based hazardous industrial materials in a dry powder form. The decontaminant contains OPH enzyme, OPAA enzyme, DFPase enzyme, dehalogenase enzyme, quaternary ammonium salt, a pH control reagent, a fire-fighting agent, and a foaming agent. The decontaminant is mixed with available water for use.

The invention discloses a separation and purification method of dehalogenase with stereoselectivity from a strain of marine bacteria and an application of the dehalogenase in biological resolution. According to the method, two types of 2-haloacid dehalogenase with stereoselectivity, namely L-2-haloacid dehalogenase and D-2-haloacid dehalogenase, are obtained from the strain of the marine bacteria, namely pseudomonas stutzeri by separation and purification. The apparent molecular weight of the enzyme of an enzyme subunit of the L-2-haloacid dehalogenase is about 26kDa, and the L-2-haloacid dehalogenase further has great reaction activity in the pH range of 8-11. D-hydroxy halogenated acid with configuration conversion is generated by selectively catalyzing the conversion of chiral L-2-haloacid through the enzyme. The D-2-haloacid dehalogenase can catalyze the conversion of D-2-haloacid and generate L-2-hydroxy acid, and further has good application prospects as a chiral resolution reagent.

The invention is directed to novel reductive dehalogenase genes encoding for reductive dehalogenases which are capable of dehalogenating halogenated organic compounds and may be useful in the bioremediation of pollutants. In particular, the invention provides an isolated polynucleotide of a novel vinyl chloride dehalogenase gene (bvcA). The novel vinyl chloride dehalogenase gene encodes a reductive dehalogenase that is capable of the complete reduction of vinyl chloride to ethene.

Provided is a microorganism including a gene encoding a protein having a dehalogenase activity, a composition for using in reducing a concentration of fluorinated methane in a sample, the composition including the microorganism including the gene encoding the protein having the dehalogenase activity, and a method of reducing the concentration of fluorinated methane in the sample.

The invention belongs to the technical field of wastewater environmental-protection treatment, and particularly relates to a microorganism water treatment agent for heavy metal organic wastewater. The microorganism water treatment agent is prepared from the following raw materials: oyster shells, potassium feldspar, olivine, talc, serpentine, chlorite, attapulgite, ammonium molybdate modified bentonite, diatomaceous earth, aluminium polychlorid, magnesium hydrate, gram-negative bacteria, Bacillus mojavensis, polyacrylamide, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, chitosan, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether, epoxy chloropropane, thiosemicarbazide cellulose, corn starch, calcium alginate, hansenula polymorpha, candida, trailing plant, fagus longipetiolata sawdust, pinus sylvestris sawdust, walnut shell, lupulus, dehalogenase, horseradish peroxidase, urease and propionibacterium pentosaceum. A precipitate (alum floc) produced after treatment with the microorganism water treatment agent has good strippability, no solid particle is released into water basically, and the microorganism water treatment agent has rapid action speed and stable treatment effect, so that the adsorption time is usually not required to be prolonged during use.
