Abstract
Provided are a microorganism for producing a pantoic acid, and a construction method therefor and an application thereof. The microorganism for producing the pantoic acid is obtained by knocking out genes in Escherichia coli and introducing exogenous genes. The obtained microorganism is Escherichia coli that is registered in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with an accession number of CGMCC No. 21699. A pantoic acid synthesis pathway has been opened up, and accumulation of the pantoic acid can be achieved in a fermentation process.
