The invention relates to the technical field of
microbial metabolism engineering, and discloses a
genetically engineered bacterium for producing L-
ornithine as well as a construction method and application of the
genetically engineered bacterium. According to the
genetically engineered bacterium provided by the invention,
putrescine synthesis pathway genes speC, speF and argF are knocked out in a
genome of the genetically engineered bacterium, a dynamic regulation
gene argI is achieved, an L-
ornithine synthesis pathway
gene cluster derived from
corynebacterium glutamicum is over-expressed at a mazG site, a
gene argG is knocked down, transcription of a
proline pathway gene proB is controlled at a temperature on the
genome, and the
gene engineering bacterium is obtained. An
efflux protein coding gene lysE which is started by a
promoter PLtetO-1 and is derived from
corynebacterium glutamicum is inserted into a trpR site, and an original
promoter of an argO gene on a
genome is replaced by the
promoter PLtetO-1, so that synthesis and degradation pathways of L-
ornithine are reasonably optimized, and expression of a competitive pathway and an
efflux-
related gene is controlled through temperature change, so that the yield of L-ornithine is increased, and the yield of L-ornithine is increased. In the
fermentation process,
normal growth of thalli can be maintained without adding
arginine, and finally high yield of L-ornithine is achieved.
