The present invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a genetically-engineered bacterium highly-producing D-
pantothenic acid independent of the addition of β-
alanine, a construction method therefor and the use thereof. By means of
gene editing technology, the expression level of a key
enzyme in a biological generation pathway of D-
pantothenic acid and the expression level of a key
enzyme in a biological generation pathway of β-
alanine are further enhanced on the basis of existing
engineering bacteria, so as to obtain a high-yield
bacterial strain which does not need adding β-
alanine during a
fermentation process. Among all bacterial strains, the maximum
shake flask titer reaches 2.97 g / L. Compared with a parent strain, the present invention omits the addition of exogenous β-alanine during the
fermentation process, thus greatly reducing the
fermentation cost, simplifying the fermentation process, and facilitating large-scale industrial production and application. In addition, the
pantothenic acid yield in
shake flask fermentation of the genetically-engineered bacterium ZPA18 producing D-pantothenic acid increases to 3.34 g / L, and the yield after replenishment fermentation for 83 h in a 5 L fermentation tank reaches 46.15 g / L.
