Computational and biochemical characterization of the immobilized esterase of Salinicoccus roseus for pesticide degradation.

ABSTRACT: The continuous exposure of chemical pesticides in agriculture, their contamination in soil and water pose serious threat to the environment. Current study used an approach to evaluate various pesticides like Hexaconazole, Mancozeb, Pretilachlor, Organophosphate and λ-cyhalothrin degradation capability of esterase. The enzyme was isolated from Salinicoccus roseus. Genome analysis unveiled the carboxylesterase genes underlying the degradation of pesticides, and was located between 2070Mbp to 2080Mbp region. Herein, partially purified esterase was immobilized into beads by mixing with an equal volume (1:1) of sodium alginate solution [2.5% (w/v)].Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the beads showed the microspheres for enhanced enzyme-substrate reaction, wide peak at 3316, 1635 and 696 cm
