Pyridoxal 5’‐phosphate (PLP)‐dependent enzymes are a versatile class of biocatalysts and feature a variety of industrial applications. However, PLP is light sensitive and can cause inactivation of enzymes in certain light conditions. As most of the PLP‐dependent enzymes are usually not handled in dark conditions, we evaluated the effect of visible light on the activity of PLP‐dependent enzymes during production as well as transformation. We tested four amine transaminases, from  Chromobacterium violaceum ,  Bacillus megaterium ,  Vibrio fluvialis  and a variant from  Arthrobacter species  as well as two lysine decarboxylases, from  Selenomonas ruminantium  and the LDCc from  Escherichia coli . It appeared that five of these six enzymes suffered from a significant decrease in activity by up to 90 % when handled in laboratory light conditions. Surprisingly, only the amine transaminase variant from  Arthrobacter species  appeared to be unaffected by light exposure and even showed an activation to 150 % relative activity over the course of 6 h regardless of the light conditions.
