The invention relates to the technical field of
genetic engineering, and discloses a
genetically engineered bacterium for producing L-
arginine as well as a construction method and application of the
genetically engineered bacterium.
Escherichia coli is taken as a starting strain, and the following treatment is performed: overexpressing genes gdhA and gdh of
glutamate dehydrogenase, promoting generation of
glutamic acid, overexpressing and coding
arginine transporter gene argO to enhance
extracellular transport of
arginine, introducing exogenous argJ to replace a linear synthesis pathway in large intestines, improving the
utilization rate of
acetyl coenzyme A and accelerating the synthesis efficiency of arginine; a
glutamine synthetase
gene glnA is over-expressed, and
glutamine synthesis is enhanced; the pckA is overexpressed to promote ATP synthesis; meanwhile, speA and adiA genes for coding the arginine decarboxylase are deleted, so that further synthesis of
putrescine from L-arginine is inhibited, and the L-arginine accumulation capability of the strain is improved. Through the combined action of the treatment, a
genetically engineered bacterium with extremely high L-arginine production yield is finally obtained, and the
shake flask fermentation yield can reach 13.7 g / L.
