This invention discloses a
genetically engineered bacterium producing high levels of L-
homoserine, its construction method, and its applications, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. The
genetically engineered bacterium uses *
Escherichia coli* W3110 as the substrate
cell. By knocking out the metA, lysA, thrBC, pflB, ldhA, poxB, adhE, iclR, sthA, tdcC, lacI, and ptsG genes, and replacing the promoters of ppc, aspC, and gdhA genes with the inducible strong
promoter Ptrc, and by performing site-
directed mutagenesis on the thrA and asd genes, and simultaneously overexpressing the thrA*, pnhsd, asd, asd*, and rhtA genes using free plasmids, a recombinant strain HOM20 was constructed. This strain, fermented in a 5 L fermenter for 48 h, achieved an L-
homoserine yield of 135.4 g / L and a
sugar-acid conversion rate of 44%, significantly superior to existing technologies. This invention achieves directional
carbon flow allocation,
cofactor balance,
feedback inhibition removal, and enhanced product
efflux through multi-
gene synergistic modification, and has broad prospects for industrial application.
