The invention relates to an engineered 
Escherichia coli strain capable of realizing high-yield production of pentamethylene 
diamine and method for high-yield production of pentamethylene 
diamine via the same. The engineered 
Escherichia coli strain is 
Escherichia coli with an accession number of CGMCC No. 17454. The method comprises the following steps: (1) constructing engineered Escherichia colistrain TJU-cadA-1 for exogenous expression of L-
lysine decarboxylase, wherein the 
enzyme activity of the L-
lysine decarboxylase is about 100 times the 
enzyme activity of a no-load strain; (2) carryingout permeability treatment on L-
lysine decarboxylase-rich whole cells, wherein the 
enzyme activity of the L-lysine-rich decarboxylase in permeabilized cells is 3-4.5 times the enzyme activity of thewhole cells; and (3) catalyzing L-
lysine hydrochloride to produce pentamethylene 
diamine by using the permeabilized cells, wherein the yield of pentamethylene diamine is 90%-100%, and the concentration of pentamethylene diamine can reach 220 g / L or above. According to the method, the L-
lysine hydrochloride is used for efficiently producing the pentamethylene diamine; and compared with the prior art, an expensive IPTG 
inducer is not needed in the invention, so the method has the advantages that 
mass transfer efficiency is high, yield is high, production cost is low, and higher 
economic feasibility and practicability are obtained.
