Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for producing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) by co-utilizing glucose and xylose based on CRISPRi, and belongs to the field of genetic engineering. According to the method, Bacillus subtilis BSGNY-Pveg-glmS-P43-GNA1 is used as an original strain, dCas9 induced by xylose and three sgRNA expression fragments targeting to genes zwf, pfkA and glmM respectively are integrated on the genome, and the strain is fermented in a shake flask, so that the titer of GlcNAc reaches 20.5 g/L, the yield of GlcNAc is 0.612 g/g glucose, at the same time, the efficient co-utilizing of glucose and xylose by the recombinant B.s subtilis is achieved, and the foundation for further metabolic engineering transformation of the B. subtilis to produce GlcNAc and industrialization thereof is laid.
