The application discloses a high-yield beta-
alanine engineering bacterium and method based on a type I CRISPRi screening
system, wherein by knocking out a pckA
gene encoding oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate and a nadB
gene encoding L-aspartate to oxaloacetate, a countercurrent pathway for synthesizing beta-
alanine is blocked, and
carbon flow loss is reduced; by knocking out an ldhA
gene and a poxB gene, the content of synthesized pyruvate is increased; by overexpressing an NCgl0580 gene, the tolerance of EcN to products is improved; by knocking out a lacI gene in a
genome, the adding cost of an inducing agent in a
fermentation process is reduced; by optimizing a type I CRISPRi
system for high-
throughput screening of target genes affecting the yield of beta-
alanine in the
engineering bacterium, the screening efficiency and accuracy are significantly improved, an aspartate tRNA
ligase gene aspS capable of improving the yield of beta-alanine is obtained, by overexpressing the aspS, the PanD
enzyme activity is increased, and the yield of beta-alanine is further improved.
