Air was ventilated at 1 VVM (ventilate 1 times the reaction volume of air per minute), 200 μL of defoamer was added to prevent foaming, and the residual concentration of PPO was determined by ion-pair HPLC after reaction for 24 h, thereby determining the production mass and ee value of L-glufosinate by pre-column derivatization high performance liquid chromatography simultaneously. The data at the end of the reaction is shown in Table 6.

Example 11 Preparation of L-Glufosinate Catalysed Stepwise by DAAO and L-Glutamate Dehydrogenase Mutants

(68) 80 g of D, L-glufosinate was weighed, and dissolved completely with 50 mM of disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer, pH 8.0. 5 g of 200,000 U/g catalase was added, 150 mL of crude enzyme solution of DAAO enzyme (12 U/mL) prepared according to the method in Example 5 was added, and the pH was adjusted to 8.0 with 25% concentrated ammonia water. 50 mM of disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer, pH 8.0, was used to make the volume constant to 1 L. The reaction was performed in a water bath at 20° C. and mechanically stirred, and oxygen was ventilated at 0.5 VVM (ventilate 0.5 times the reaction volume of oxygen per minute). 1 mL of defoamer was added to prevent foaming, the production concentration of PPO was determined by ion-pair HPLC, and the production mass and ee value of L-glufosinate were determined with pre-column derivatization high performance liquid chromatography simultaneously. The reaction was terminated when the ee value was greater than 99%.

(69) 2 aliquots of 50 mL of the above reaction solutions were added with 0.54 g of ammonium chloride, 0.4 mg of NADP.sup.+ and 0.73 g of isopropanol, respectively. 1 mL of alcohol dehydrogenase (300 U/mL) prepared according to the method in Example 8 and 1 mL of crude enzyme solution of L-glutamate dehydrogenase mutant were added, respectively. The pH was adjust to 8.5 with ammonia water, and the reaction temperature was controlled by performing reaction in water bath and magnetically stirred at 37° C. The residual concentration of PPO was determined by ion-pair HPLC, and the production mass and ee value of L-glufosinate were determined by pre-column derivatization high performance liquid chromatography simultaneously. The data at the end of the reaction is shown in Table 7.
