description <i>Corynebacterium glutamicum</i> is an important industrial production strain that is widely used in amino acid fermentation, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields. It is particularly important to develop efficient genome editing methods for the targeted modification of <i>C. glutamicum</i> production strains. Currently, the gene editing system of <i>C. glutamicum</i> is inefficient and time-consuming. In this paper, we reported on a <i>Francisella novicida</i> (<i>Fn</i>) CRISPR-Cpf1-based system for genome editing. The system used linear DNA detached from the plasmid, and, with the assistance of the recombinase RecET, gene deletion was achieved by simultaneous electrotransformation of linear DNA with a plasmid carrying the <i>Fn</i>Cpf1 and crRNA expression cassette for double-strand breaks of the genome. Compared with previous all-in-one plasmids, this system reduced the time for one round of constructing recombinant plasmids and shortened the editing cycle by about 24 h. Finally, we successfully constructed an engineered strain (X−2) with high L-valine production by using the linear DNA-mediated gene deletion system. This method is of great importance for accelerating the process of metabolic engineering modification of <i>C. glutamicum</i> and its further application in high value-added products.
