Synthetic Genes. Genes used in plant molecular biology sometimes have low expression in plants due to the fact that they have been originally isolated from bacteria which use a different codon usage. The beta­glucuronidase (GUS) gene from E. coli was codon optimized for better expression in monocots and dicots.

The invention provides engineering vibrio natriticus for producing farnesene by using ethanol and a preparation method of farnesene, and relates to the technical field of bioengineering. In the embodiment of the invention, traditional chassis organisms such as yeast which grow slowly are abandoned, and the vibrio natriticus of which the doubling time is less than 10 minutes is used as a chassis; and engineering vibrio natrieti capable of efficiently utilizing ethanol is obtained by combining directed evolution, so that the thallus proliferation and fermentation period is greatly shortened. The selected exogenous plasmids Kesling 2187 and pFZ71 carry a gene cluster with a definite function, and after the gene cluster is successfully introduced into the vibrio natriticus, engineering vibrio natriticus with stable inheritance is formed. MVA pathway key genes (atoB, tHMG1 and the like) carried by the exogenous plasmids and a farnesene terminal synthesis gene (AFS1) have a synergistic effect, so that a complete and efficient synthesis pathway from ethanol to acetyl coenzyme A to FPP to alpha-farnesene is formed, the metabolic flux loss is reduced, and the farnesene synthesis flux is improved.
