The invention discloses a
genetically engineered bacterium for catalyzing synthesis of ornamental blue from an ornamental blue derivative as well as a construction method and application of the
genetically engineered bacterium, and relates to the technical field of bioengineering. According to the invention, on the basis of a
gene editing technology, CobB,
NOX, katE, NAMPT, nadD, rbsk, prs and ppk genes are integrated onto an
escherichia coli
genome; a
genetically engineered bacterium for catalyzing synthesis of the observation blue derivative (N-acetylobservation blue or N, N '-
diacetyl-observation blue) is constructed, synthesis of NAD + can be enhanced, cyclic regeneration of NAD + can be realized, H2O2 which is generated in the synthesis process of NAD + and has a toxic effect on
enzyme is eliminated, supply of cofactors PRPP and ATP is enhanced, deacetylase is activated, and the observation blue derivative (N-acetylobservation blue or N, N'-
diacetyl-observation blue) is enabled to be converted into the observation blue derivative (N-acetylobservation blue or N, N '-
diacetyl-observation blue) into the observation blue derivative (N-acetylobservation blue or N, N'-diacetyl-observation blue). N, N '-diacetyl-observation blue) is used for catalytic synthesis of observation blue.
