The present application belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a
genetically engineered strain with high yield of
acetoin and 2,3-
butanediol, a construction method and application. The present application obtains acoR
deletion mutant MW03-ΔA by knocking out the regulatory
gene acoR of the
acetoin dehydrogenase enzyme system, blocks the degradation of AoDHES to
acetoin, effectively reduces the production of by-products, thereby facilitating the accumulation of more acetoin. A strong
promoter expression vector is further constructed in the MW03-ΔA strain, and the alpha-acetyl lactate decarboxylase
gene alsD is connected, and then introduced into the acoR
deletion mutant MW03-ΔA of
Bacillus licheniformis, so as to overexpress alpha-acetyl lactate decarboxylase, and obtain a
genetically engineered strain MW-BL4 with high yield of acetoin and 2,3-
butanediol. The present application has the beneficial effect that compared with a
single product of the engineered strain, the present application can realize the production of acetoin and 2,3-
butanediol and other multiple products by using a
single strain, and the yield is considerable, which can significantly reduce the cost of bacterial strains in industrial production and improve the production efficiency.
