(30) According to Example 2, 3 g of the cells of the amino acid dehydrogenase mutant pDyGDH-F95I-A108T-R172P-R303H and 1 g of the cells of the glucose dehydrogenase EsGDH cells obtained by fermentation were mixed and resuspended in 40 mL of the pH 7.4, 100 mM phosphate buffer, the resulting mixture was subjected to ultrasonication on ice (the conditions of the ultrasonication are 400 W, 1 second on, and 5 seconds off), all the broken mixture (crude enzyme liquid) was added with 2-carbonyl-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-butyric acid at a final concentration of 500 mM and glucose at a final concentration of 750 mM, thereby constructing the reaction system with a volume of 50 ml, the reaction was carried out at 35° C. and 300 rpm, ammonia water was flow-added to maintain the pH of the reaction solution at 7.4. The liquid phase method shown in Example 3 was used to detect the synthesis of the product L-glufosinate-ammonium and the change of e.e. value during the reaction, and the reaction processing curve was shown in FIG. 4. The figure showed that the concentration of the product gradually increased with time, the reaction was completed within 120 minutes, the substrate conversion rate was more than 99%, and the product e.e. value was always more than 99.5%.
