PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain inositol important as a kind of vitamin useful for a nutritive food, a feed additive, a medicine, etc., in a high yield by using a fungus having resistance to a halogenated pyruvic acid, capable of secreting and producing inositol. SOLUTION: A fungus [e.g. Candida boidinii BP22 (FERM P-15,743), etc.], having resistance to a halogenated pyruvic acid, capable of secreting and producing inositol is cultured in a medium, inositol is accumulated in a culture solution and collected from the culture solution to give the objective inositol important as a kind of vitamin in higher animals useful for a nutritive food, a feed additive, a medicine, etc., in a high yield economically. Candida boidinii BP22 strain is obtained by treating Candida boidiniiδ-65 (FERM P-15, 743) (FERM P-15,379) with a mutagenetic agent and culturing the treated strain under conditions in which no parent strain can grow.
