METHOD FOR PRODUCING ACETYLATED SPHINGOID BASE

摘要

Provided is a means for producing an acetylated sphingoid base using modified microorganism in the genus Starmerella, particularly Starmerella bombicola. A method for producing an acetylated sphingoid base comprising culturing a microorganism in the genus Starmerella to which a xenogeneic gene encoding a polypeptide having an activity to acetylate a sphingoid base is introduced.
