The invention relates to a method for constructing recombinant escherichia coli, synthesizing GDP-fucose by using mannose, further producing 2 '-fucosyllactose and improving the utilization rate of mannose, and belongs to the field of microbial metabolism engineering. The engineering bacterium takes escherichia coli as a starting strain, a Plac promoter sequence and lacI and lacZ genes in a lac operon sequence are knocked out, wcaG, gmd and lacy genes are overexpressed on 1acI and lacZ gene loci, then a phosphomannose isomerase coding gene manA is knocked out on a genome, a phosphomannose mutase coding gene manB and alpha-(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8 and (2) obtaining a fucosyl transferase coding gene futC and a mannose-1-phosphate guanine transferase coding gene manC. According to the fermentation strategy for producing the 2 '-fucosyllactose through the de novo synthesis route of the 2'-fucosyllactose, the utilization rate of a carbon source for producing the 2 '-fucosyllactose through escherichia coli fermentation can be greatly increased.
