The invention provides a
genetic engineering modification method for improving
acetic acid generation and application of the
genetic engineering modification method. Specifically, provided herein is a recombinant prokaryotic
cell that is
genetically engineered directed to comprise a defect of one or more genes selected from the group consisting of galK, galT, galE, modF, modE, acrZ, modA, modB, modC, ybhA, and pgl wherein the recombinant prokaryotic
cell has reduced
acetic acid production as compared to the prokaryotic
cell before modification. Also provided herein is a method of making the recombinant prokaryotic cell comprising directed
genetic engineering of the prokaryotic cell to deficit one or more genes therein selected from the group consisting of galK, galT, galE, modF, modE, acrZ, modA, modB, modC, ybhA and pgl wherein the recombinant prokaryotic cell has reduced
acetic acid production compared to the prokaryotic cell before modification. The invention also provides a product containing the recombinant prokaryotic cell, an application of the product in
metabolic engineering and a method for carrying out recombinant production by utilizing the recombinant prokaryotic cell.
