The present invention relates to a recombinant strain for producing shikimic acid, in which a target gene that regulates the asymmetric cell division and target genes that regulate the shikimic acid production are expressed The target gene that regulates the asymmetric cell division includes cytoskeletal protein PopZ coding gene popZ, and the target genes that regulate the shikimic acid production include DAHP synthase coding gene aroG, 3-dehydroquinate synthase coding gene aroB, and transketolase coding gene tktA. The recombinant strain of the present invention realizes the de novo synthesis of shikimic acid using glucose as a substrate, with a low cost. After fermentation with the strain in a 7.5 L fermentor, the highest production of shikimic acid is 88.1 g/L, the yield is 0.33 g/g, and the production intensity of shikimic acid is 1.1 g/L/h.

The present invention provides recombinantfor producing glutarate, a construction method and use thereof. A double-plasmid recombinant bacterium is constructed through molecular biological means for co-expressing an aldehyde synthase (AAS) gene, an amine oxidase Mao (gene) and an aldehyde dehydrogenase (Glox) gene. The constructed expression plasmids are introduced into theto reconstruct to obtain recombinant cells. A recombination strain for efficiently producing glutarate is obtained through amicillin resistance and kanamycin resistance combined plate screening. Efficient production of the glutarate is achieved by optimizing concentration of a substrate, cell concentration and a transformation temperature. L-lysine with a concentration of 30 g/L may be transformed into 19.65 g of glutarate through reactions for 30 h under transformation conditions that the cell concentration is 30 g/L, the pH value is 8 and 6 mM of NADis additionally added, wherein a transformation rate may be 65.3%.
