The invention discloses a genetic engineering bacterium for synthesizing pyruvic acid and D-alanine as well as a construction method and application thereof. Recombinant escherichia coli of the invention is obtained by knocking out apyruvate dehydrogenase complex achEF gene, a pyruvate lyase pflB gene, a pyruvate oxidase poxB gene, a phosphoenolpyruvate synthase pps gene and a lactic dehydrogenaseldhA gene in escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), blocking a key pathway of further metabolism of pyruvic acid and knocking out genes btsT and cstA for encoding a pyruvic acid transport protein. For the genetic engineering bacterium disclosed by the invention, L-amino acid deaminase pm1 is utilized to catalyze D, L-alanine, so that L-alanine can be converted to the pyruvic acid and can be separated to obtain D-alanine at the same time, and a new idea and method is provided to chiral separation of the D, L-alanine; and the recombinant escherichia coli capable of efficiently synthesizing the pyruvic acid and the D-alanine is obtained through modification, the yield of the pyruvic acid reaches 32.0g / L, the conversion rate of the L-alanine reaches up to 80 percent, and the separation rate of the D / L-alanine reaches up to 80 percent.
