Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of genetic engineering, especially relates to a xylose-induced genetically engineered bacteria used for producing ectoine as well as a construction method and use thereof. The genetically engineered bacteria is constructed by heterologously expressing the ectABC gene cluster from Halomonas elongata on the E. coli chromosome, using the promoter of xylose transporter coding gene xylF to control the RNA polymerase from T7 bacteriophage, reconstructing a synthesis pathway of ectoine and constructing a plasmid-free system, and enhancing the expression of target genes by a strong promoter T7; the yield of ectoine reached 12-16 g/L after 20-28 h fermentation in shake flask, and reached 35-50 g/L after 24-40 h fermentation in a 5 L fermentor.
