Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to a method for preparing proteins that degrade pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) pesticide residues and a method for regulating trace elements. Specifically, it involves the use of 40% saturated ammonium sulfate to extract proteins from Bacillus polymyxa, which can be used to degrade pentachloronitrobenzene pesticide residues; and the use of trace element Fe. 2+ Significantly enhances the degradation of pentachloronitrobenzene by Bacillus polymyxa, and its application in the production and processing of high-quality ginseng products. Background Technology

[0002] Ginseng (Panax ginseng CAMeyer) is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Panax in the family Araliaceae. It can be used both as food and medicine, possessing various effects such as tonifying the middle energizer, replenishing qi and blood, calming the mind, and anti-tumor properties. With increasing health awareness, the demand for ginseng products is growing. Ginseng has a long growth cycle and is susceptible to ginseng diseases during cultivation. Pesticide control is a common method, but due to the slow degradation, long half-life, and bioaccumulation of organochlorine pesticides (PCNB) in plants, as well as improper use, Guo Luyao reported in 2021 that PCNB and other structurally stable organochlorine pesticides could still be detected in ginseng from different producing areas, with some even exceeding the limit standards. This seriously affects the quality and safety of ginseng products and restricts the development of the ginseng industry. Therefore, finding a method to quickly and efficiently degrade pesticide residues is urgent. Methods for degrading pesticide residues are mainly divided into physical, chemical, and biological methods. However, physical methods are inefficient, and chemical methods are prone to secondary pollution. Microbial degradation of pesticide residues, on the other hand, is cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly, making it an important method for degrading pesticide residues in ginseng. The applicant previously demonstrated that the ginseng endophyte *Paenibacillus polymyxa* Pp-7250 has the effect of degrading PCNB pesticide residues, but the specific protein involved in its PCNB degradation is unclear, and there are no reports on how trace elements enhance the PCNB degradation effect of Pp-7250. Summary of the Invention

The method involves extracting *Paenibacillus polymyxa* protein with 40% saturated ammonium sulfate, which can be used to degrade pentachloronitrobenzene pesticide residues. The trace element Fe2+ significantly enhances the degradation effect of *Paenibacillus polymyxa* on pentachloronitrobenzene.
