A novel cold-adapted esterase from Lysinibacillus pakistanensis VF-2 for efficient degradation of pyrethroid residues in tea leaves.

Pyrethroid residues in tea have emerged as a significant safety concern due to their high lipophilicity and persistence, while efficient and mild enzymatic removal resources remain scarce. In this study, two novel esterase genes, gene3341 and gene2566, were identified from Lysinibacillus pakistanensis VF-2, both belong...
