Abstract

A cofactor self-sufficient Escherichia coli and its construction method and application in the synthesis of L-glufosinate are provided. The present invention expresses a NADH kinase and key enzymes of the cofactor synthesis pathway in E. coli, and knocks out the genes of enzymes that catabolizes cofactor, and with the addition of co-metabolic intermediates during cell incubation, the intracellular NADP(H) concentration is increased by at least 50% and the catalytic activity of glufosinate dehydrogenase by 2-fold, resulting in a significant increase in the spatiotemporal yield of the glufosinate synthesis reaction.
