A novel carboxylesterase Est3617 from a food-fermentation bacterium for rapid remediation of β-cyfluthrin in environment and food

Key Points

• The enzyme carboxylesterase Est3617 rapidly degrades β-cyfluthrin, enhancing environmental safety and food quality.
• Testing shows a significant degradation rate of 95% within 24 hours in contaminated samples of food and environment.
• Analysis focused on enzyme kinetics and substrate specificity to determine effectiveness against pesticides.
• Highlights the potential for Est3617 in environmental bioremediation and food safety measures for pesticide residues.
