The present invention discloses a method for preparing L-glufosinate ammonium by biological enzymatic de-racemization, a glufosinate ammonium dehydrogenase mutant and a use thereof. The method for preparing L-glufosinate ammonium by biological enzymatic de-racemization includes catalyzing D,L-glufosinate ammonium as a raw material by a multi-enzyme catalysis system to obtain L-glufosinate ammonium. The enzyme catalysis system includes D-amino acid oxidase for catalyzing D-glufosinate ammonium in the D,L-glufosinate ammonium to 2-carbonyl-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphonyl]butanoic acid, and a glufosinate ammonium dehydrogenase mutant for catalytically reducing 2-carbonyl-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphonyl]butanoic acid to L-glufosinate ammonium. The glufosinate ammonium dehydrogenase mutant is obtained by mutation of glufosinate-ammonium dehydrogenase in wild fungi Thiopseudomonas denitrificans at a mutation site of V377S. The glufosinate ammonium dehydrogenase mutant in the present invention has better catalytic efficiency. When racemic D, L-glufosinate ammonium is used as a substrate for a catalytic reaction, the conversion rate is much higher than the conversion rate of a wild-type enzyme, and the yield of 2-carbonyl-4-[hydroxy(methyl)phosphonyl]butanoic acid (PPO for short) is also greatly improved.
