This invention discloses an engineered bacterium producing tetracrine, its construction, and its application. The invention utilizes a strong
promoter to drive the high expression of regulatory genes ovmZn and ovmWn in *
Streptomyces neyagawa*, constructing a recombinant engineered strain Sne / pZWn; alternatively, it utilizes a strong
promoter to drive the high expression of homologous genes of both, including the regulatory genes ovmZ and ovmW from *
Streptomyces chromogenicus*, in *
Streptomyces neyagawa*, constructing a recombinant engineered strain Sne / pZW. These engineered strains can express previously silenced
gene clusters, activating tetracrine
biosynthesis and laying the foundation for the development and application of tetracrine.
