The invention belongs to the technical field of
synthetic biology, and particularly relates to a
genetically engineered bacterium for high yield of L-
methionine as well as a construction method and application of the
genetically engineered bacterium. By strengthening the hemC
gene, the utilization capacity of
escherichia coli on a
sulfur source is improved; by strengthening the malY
gene and the multi-copy metB
gene, the capability of converting
cysteine into
homocysteine in the
escherichia coli is improved; by knocking out an mnaT gene and introducing metA to a
genome to
resist feedback, the degradation of L-
methionine is reduced, and meanwhile, the supply of a precursor O-succinyl
homoserine is increased; and finally, a pAmZK
plasmid is introduced to obtain the
escherichia coli
genetically engineered bacterium strain with high yield of L-
methionine, and the yield is increased from 3.21 g / L to 3.67 g / L. And fed-
batch fermentation is carried out in a 5L tank in a pH feedback feeding manner, the yield reaches 43.55 g / L within 64 hours, and a research foundation is laid for production of L-methionine by a microbiological method.
