  • Patent number: 11976267
    Abstract: The invention provides a recombinant Escherichia coli strain for producing succinic acid and a construction method thereof. The by-product encoding genes in the E. coli strain FMME-N-2 are knocked out to obtain the E. coli strain FMME-N-5 (?focA-pflB-?ldhA-?pta-ackA); and the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase pck derived from Actinobacillus succinogenes and the phosphite dehydrogenase ptxD derived from Pseudomonas stutzeri were overexpressed. The constructed plasmid pTrcHisA-pck-ptxD was introduced into the expression host E. coli FMME-N-5 (?focA-pflB-?ldhA-?pta-ackA), and the cells were screened in a plate containing ampicillin, to obtain an engineered strain E. coli FMME-N-5 (?focA-pflB-?ldhA-?pta-ackA)-pck-ptxD that can efficiently produce succinic acid. After fermentation by a two-stage fermentation strategy, the production of succinic acid reaches 137 g/L, the yield of succinic acid is up to 1 g/g glucose, and the space time yield is 1.
