This invention belongs to the fields of
fermentation and
genetic engineering technology, and provides a high-yield
hexanoic acid-producing engineered *
Escherichia coli* strain, its construction method, and its applications. This engineered strain is *
Escherichia coli*... E. coli w3110 was the starting strain, overexpressing the acetyl-
CoA transferase gene. act and β-ketothiolase
gene bktB Overexpression of trans-enoyl-CoA
reductase gene ter 3-Hydroxybutyryl-CoA
dehydrogenase gene hbd, and 3-hydroxybutyryl
coenzyme A dehydratase gene crt Or, simultaneously not expressing the
pyruvate formate lyase gene. pflB or
lactate dehydrogenase gene ldhA This engineered
bacteria can convert glucose into
hexanoic acid, a high-value product, with a yield of 4.968 g / L after 18 hours of
fermentation. It adopts aerobic
fermentation, resulting in rapid
cell growth, a short fermentation cycle, and a high
acid production rate. The fermentation process is simple, easy to control, and has low production costs, which is conducive to its promotion and application in industrial production.
