Abstract

The invention discloses recombinant escherichia coli for producing coniferyl alcohol by taking eugenol as a substrate and application of the recombinant escherichia coli, and belongs to the technical field of microbial fermentation. The recombinant escherichia coli heterologously expresses a key enzyme gene for converting eugenol into coniferyl alcohol, and the protein coded by the key gene is vanillyl alcohol oxidase. The recombinant escherichia coli can produce coniferyl alcohol through shake flask fermentation with eugenol as a substrate, after fermentation culture of the recombinant escherichia coli, the concentration of the coniferyl alcohol can reach 23.17 g / L through fermentation in 50 mL of an M9YE culture medium, the conversion rate is 92.68%, and the yield of the coniferyl alcohol is remarkably higher than that of other recombinant strains of the same type.
