The invention belongs to the technical field of
molecular biology, and particularly relates to a
genetically engineered bacterium for synthesizing 1, 5-pentanediamine and a method for synthesizing the 1, 5-pentanediamine. According to the invention,
lysine decarboxylase and
lysine-
cadaverine antiporter are co-expressed in a basic strain of high-yield L-
lysine, the obtained
genetically engineered bacterium synthesizes L-lysine by using a
carbon source, the L-lysine is converted into 1, 5-pentamethylene
diamine under the action of the
lysine decarboxylase, and the synthesized 1, 5-pentamethylene
diamine is converted into 1, 5-pentamethylene
diamine through the lysine-
cadaverine antiporter. According to the present invention, the 1, 5-pentanediamine is effectively transferred to the outside of the
cell, such that the one-step conversion from the
carbon source, especially the glucose, to the 1, 5-pentanediamine is achieved, the efficient synthesis of the 1, 5-pentanediamine is achieved, the process is simple, and the production cost is low. Results of embodiments show that the concentration of 1, 5-pentanediamine synthesized by using the
genetically engineered bacterium provided by the invention is 3.35-4.90 mM, and the conversion rate of glucose is close to 100%.
