The invention relates to recombinant
bacteria for producing L-
tryptophan as well as a construction method and application of the recombinant
bacteria, and belongs to the technical field of
genetic engineering. In the recombinant bacterium, a functional
amide phosphoribosyltransferase is deleted, or the functional
amide phosphoribosyltransferase and 2-imino
propionate deaminase are deleted. According to the method disclosed by the invention, a recombinant bacterium for high-yield
tryptophan is constructed, and functional
amide phosphoribosyltransferase is deleted in the recombinant bacterium, so that more PRPP and
glutamine participate in an anabolic pathway of
tryptophan, and a culture mode of supplementing
threonine can be matched; according to the tryptophan phosphoribosyltransferase, the problem that a tryptophan synthesis
route is lack of PRPP and
glutamine and the problem that the
cell activity is reduced due to the lack of functional amide phosphoribosyltransferase can be solved at the same time; the main amino supply in the
purine synthesis original
route is changed from
glutamine to 2-aminosuccinic acid as a carrier, so that the tryptophan production capacity can be further improved.
