The present invention discloses a method and strain for optimizing the production of N-
acetylglucosamine using multiple pathways. The present invention is based on
Bacillus subtilis 168 strain, and uses a
genome editing
system based on
CRISPR / Cpf1 to construct a synthetic strain of N-
acetylglucosamine from scratch. The competitive pathway is optimized by a high-
throughput combination of a period-type CRISPRi
system based on a
stable phase promoter and dCpf1, thereby obtaining a more efficient and stable N-
acetylglucosamine synthetic strain. The
gene knockout and
promoter replacement of the recombinant
Bacillus subtilis constructed by the present invention are both completed using a
genome scarless editing
system based on
CRISPR / Cpf1, and no
plasmid is used in the final strain. Therefore, glucose can be sustainably, stably and efficiently synthesized into acetylglucosamine, and its yield on a
shake flask can reach 33.7g / L, laying the foundation for its industrialization.
