The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and relates to a bioconversion method for producing 1,5-pentanediamine. The method can increase the yield of 1,5-pentanediamine bymodifying a metabolic pathway of Escherichia coli. The method specifically comprises the following steps: selecting an Escherichia coli strain, firstly, knocking out a 1,5-pentanediamine degradation pathway; secondly, adding a synthetic precursor,namely lysine, of 1,5-pentanediamine; thirdly, overexpressing a transporter gene and finally directly fermenting the Escherichia coli strain DFC1002 to produce 1,5-pentanediamine. After the metabolic pathway of Escherichia coli is modified, themethod can produce 1,5-pentanediamine with high yield.The method is simple and easy to implement, has high yield of 1,5-pentanediamine, few by-products, and good repeatability, and is suitable for industrialization.
