The invention provides a construction method of
recombinant escherichia coli for synthesis of
ergothioneine, a strain and application of the strain, and relates to the technical field of construction of strains related to synthesis of
ergothioneine, an NcEgt1 * sequence and an Egt D * sequence are fused and connected with a
ribosome binding site sequence, and after XbaI and NotI
enzyme digestion, the mixture is connected to a carrier pET-Duet-1 to obtain a recombinant
plasmid pET-Duet-1-NcEgt1 *-EgtD *; the EgtE is connected to a recombinant
plasmid pET-Duet-1-NcEgt1 *-EgtD * through Nd < e > I / KpnI
enzyme digestion, and finally a recombinant vector pET-Duet-1-NcEgt1 *-EgtD *-EgtE is obtained; the method comprises the following steps: transforming a recombinant vector pET-Duet-1-NcEgt1 *-EgtD *-EgtE into E.coli BL21 to obtain a
bacterial strain for producing
ergothioneine, and naming the
bacterial strain as E.coli Egt116; then, the recombinant
plasmid pRSFDuet-1-EgtD *-EgtE is converted into a
bacterial strain E.coli Egt116, and a bacterial strain E.coli Egt117 capable of producing ergothioneine is obtained; and finally, constructing a
mutant strain of double genes of the strain Ecoli Egt117sdaA / MetJ by using a Cre-lox
system, naming the
mutant strain as E.coli Egt118, and increasing the ergothioneine yield of the strain to 218.71% in comparison with the ergothioneine yield of the strain E.coli Egt116. The recombinant strain constructed by the invention can be used for
mass production of the ergothioneine, and large-scale production of the ergothioneine is realized.
