The invention discloses
recombinant escherichia coli and a method for producing L-
methionine by using the
recombinant escherichia coli. L-
methionine is produced through
fermentation culture of
recombinant escherichia coli,
sulfur source optimization is carried out on a
sulfur source culture medium used during
fermentation culture, the
sulfur source utilization efficiency is improved, and the yield of L-
methionine is increased; in the optimization process, generation of
hydrogen sulfide in a culture medium is detected by
lead acetate test paper, so that metZ genes for expressing and coding O-succinyl
homoserine sulfhydrylase are introduced into
plasmid pAm to obtain
plasmid pAmZ, and the
plasmid pAmZ is introduced into strains M2 / pAm and M2-HPBC / pAm to obtain recombinant
escherichia coli M2 / pAmZ and M2-HPBC / pAmZ, so that the toxic action of
hydrogen sulfide on cells is reduced, and the yield of
hydrogen sulfide is increased. The yield of the L-methionine can be increased; according to the present invention, the recombinant
escherichia coli M2 / pAmZK and the recombinant
escherichia coli M2-HPBC / pAmZK are obtained by further introducing the ppnk
gene expressing and coding NAD +
kinase into the plasmid pAmZ, and introducing the ppnk
gene into the bacterial strains M2 / pAmZ and M2-HPBC / pAmZ to obtain the recombinant
escherichia coli M2 / pAmZK and M2-HPBC / pAmZK, such that the
intracellular NADPH level is improved, and the L-methionine yield is further improved;
