The invention discloses double-gene knockout engineering bacteria and a construction method and an application thereof in fermentation production of 1,3-propylene glycol. A D-lactic dehydrogenase gene and an alpha-acetolactate synthetase gene in a genome of a wild type strain for production of 1,3-propylene glycol are knocked out to obtain the engineering strain; the wild type strain for production of 1,3-propylene glycol takes glycerol as a raw material for fermentation production of 1,3-propylene glycol. The engineering bacteria obtained after simultaneous knockout of the two genes of lactic dehydrogenase and acetolactate synthetase are applied in the process of fermentation-process production of 1,3-propylene glycol; the accounting proportion of 1,3-propylene glycol in a fermentation liquid in metabolites is increased, synthesis of lactic acid and 2,3-butylene glycol are simultaneously greatly reduced, and other by-products are not significantly increased. In the process of microbiological fermentation-process production of 1,3-propylene glycol, the role in improving the accounting proportion of 1,3-propylene glycol synthesized by the engineering bacteria and reducing the proportion of the synthesized by-products are played, the production cost is facilitated to be reduced, and the engineering bacteria have important application prospects.
