The invention discloses a genetically engineered bacteria used for producing stevia glycosyltransferase UGT76G1; a UGT76G1 coding gene is inserted between the restriction enzyme cutting sites EcoRI and XhoI of a PYes2 carrier, so as to construct a recombinant plasmid, and then the recombinant plasmid is introduced to expression host Saccharomyces cerevisiae YPH499 to obtain the engineered bacteria; and the coding gene of the UGT76G1 is GenBank, No. GenBank: AY345974.1, and the gene sequence of the coding gene is named as UGT (Udp Glucuronyl Transferase). The invention also discloses a construction method of the genetically engineered bacteria and the application of the bacteria to the production of rebaudioside A. According to the invention, under the condition that expensive UDPG (Uridine Diphosphate Glucose) is not added, cheap carbon source glucose is used as a substrate, the metabolic pathway of UDPG in the yeast is regulated, and then the rebaudioside A is produced from St glycosides through whole cell catalysis. |
