The invention relates to 
Escherichia coli JLTrp and application thereof to the 
fermentation production of L-
tryptophan. The 
Escherichia coli JLTrp has a culture collection number of CGMCC NO. 7.217. The application of the 
Escherichia coli JLTrp to the 
fermentation production of the L-
tryptophan comprises the following steps: performing 
inoculation with mature cultures in a 
fermentation tank, at a temperature of 34-36 DEG C, controlling pH (potential of 
Hydrogen) in a staged manner by adopting 
liquid ammonia replenishment, controlling dissolved 
oxygen in the staged manner, controlling the pressure to be 0.03-0.08MPa and the 
air volume to be 0.3-2.0VVM, controlling residual 
sugar to be 0.01-0.5% in a process, and cultivating and preparing L-
tryptophan. A 
bacterial strain of the 
Escherichia coli JLTrp greatly improves the stability of the cultures, and reduces the generation, which is caused by insufficient conditions, of an 
organic acid, so that the 
vitality of the cultures is improved, cultivation conditions are gradually lowered, and 
energy consumption is greatly reduced. 
Escherichia coli JLTrp provided by the invention can be used for the fermentation production of L-tryptophan, is relatively greatly improved in both yield and percent conversion, and has obvious progress.
