The invention provides an
engineering bacterium and a method for synthesizing dacryitol. Wherein the
engineering bacteria comprise II type
terpenoid synthetase and I type
terpenoid synthetase, and the sequence of the II type
terpenoid synthetase contains any one of SEQ ID NOs: 41, 32, 42, 14, 15, 33, 3, 40, 39, 23, 4, 5, 10, 13, 19, 20, 24, 26, 27, 35, 36, 37 or 87, or contains a sequence having more than 70% of homology with the
amino acid sequence; the sequence of the type I
terpene synthase contains a sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 101, SEQ ID NO: 118, SEQ ID NO: 92, SEQ ID NO: 93, SEQ ID NO: 94, SEQ ID NO: 95, SEQ ID NO: 96, SEQ ID NO: 97 or SEQ ID NO: 88, or a sequence which has more than 70% of homology with the
amino acid sequence. The method can solve the problem that high-efficiency
biosynthesis of dacryitol is difficult in the prior art, and is suitable for the field of
synthetic biology.
