This invention discloses a recombinant *
Escherichia coli* strain, its preparation method and application, and a method for synthesizing oryzanol A, relating to the field of bioengineering technology. The recombinant *E. coli* strain uses *E. coli* BL21(DE3) as the
chassis cell and undergoes the following modifications (a) and (b): (a) knocking out the pfkA
gene; or, knocking out the pfkA
gene and mutating the 5′
untranslated region of the gltA
gene from the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 to the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) inserting exogenous genes agmA, agmB, agmC, agmE, and agmF. This recombinant *E. coli* strain exhibits rapid growth, a short
fermentation cycle (within 72 hours), can utilize inexpensive and readily available culture media, and significantly increases the
fermentation yield of oryzanol A compared to existing *E. coli* systems.
