The invention belongs to the field of biochemical industry and discloses a 1,3-propanediol-producing genetically engineered bacterium as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The strain is named Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 25955-pUC18-yqhD-TetR, which is composed of the 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase isoenzyme gene yqhD from Escherichia coli and the tetracycline resistance gene TetR from the plasmid pHY300PLK, and inserted into the vector pUC18 , obtained by transforming Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC25955. The bacteria can significantly improve the ability of glycerol to convert 1,3-propanediol, improve the utilization ability and conversion rate of the substrate glycerol, increase the final concentration of the product 1,3-propanediol, and shorten the fermentation time, which is convenient for microbial fermentation. Industrial production of 1,3-propanediol.
