The invention relates to the technical field of microbial
fermentation, and discloses a
genetically engineered bacterium of high-yield D-
pantothenic acid as well as a preparation method and application of the
genetically engineered bacterium. The D-PA yield of the
engineering bacteria is greatly improved through the following effects that
acetolactate synthase IlvB and IlvN shunted by
pyruvic acid are subjected to overexpression, meanwhile, a transcription attenuation region is deleted, and
valine feedback inhibition sites are mutated; the method comprises the following steps: overexpressing keto-
alcohol acid reductoisomerase IlvC and dihydroxy acid
dehydratase IlvD, and converting the IlvC coenzyme preference from NADPH into NADH, so as to break through the upstream of D-PA synthesis; overexpression of PanB is carried out, overexpression of a
serine-
glycine transport system is carried out, and synthesis of 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolic acid is promoted; meanwhile, the expression of ketopantoic acid
reductase PanE is enhanced; and finally, over-expressing
pantothenic acid synthetase PanC, and increasing the content of a
cofactor ATP required by the PanC. According to the
engineering bacteria provided by the invention, through overall reinforcement of the multiple modules,
cell growth is improved due to balance of cofactors and increase of D-PA, and the yield of D-PA reaches an unprecedented height.
