Abstract

Shikimic acid is an important intermediate for aromatic amino acids.It can be used as   building block for the chemical synthesis of various drugs.In this study,a high-yield shikimic
acid producing strain was constructed through metabolic engineering.The genes aroLand aroK    encoding the shikimate kinase were knocked out to block the shikimic acid catabolism and the    gene ydiBencoding the quinic/shikimate dehydrogenase was deleted to reduce the synthesis of   byproduct.The aroG,aroE,aroD and aroB genes encoding DAHP synthase,shikimic acid    dehydrogenase, dehydroquinic acid dehydratase and dehydroquinic acid synthase were    overexpressed with introduction of constructed operons,to strengthen the shikimic acid synthesis    pathway.Finally,the obtained E.coli SHIKΔaroLΔydiBengineering strain resulted in a yield of    shikimic acid of 5.5g/L by shake flask fermentation.
