[Objective] To compare the metabolism and transcription between the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) and the model strains, thus providing a reference for the engineering and promoting the application of the food-safe strain EcN. [Methods] The genome and transcriptome were compared between EcN and model strains BL21(DE3) and W3110 by software, and plasmids were constructed to verify the differences. EcN-derived microcin was expressed in BL21(DE3) and the antibacterial effect of microcin was verified. [Results] A total of 904 differentially coding genes were identified. The differences in carbon source absorption and utilization of different strains were verified by experiments with different carbon sources as substrates. The expression of the promoter Pflic confirmed the differences in transcription among different strains. The recombinant strain of microcin showed an increase of 30.3% in the inhibition rate after 12 h of culture. [Conclusion] This study clarifies the metabolic characteristics of EcN and confirms the differences in transcription between EcN and model strains. Moreover, this study provides ideas for the development of microcin as a narrow-spectrum therapeutic drug to inhibit intestinal pathogens and reduce intestinal bacterial blooms.
