BIOLOGICAL METHOD FOR PRODUCING CIS-5-HYDROXY-L-PIPECOLINIC ACID

摘要

The present invention provides a method for producing cis-5-hydroxy-L-pipecolic acid. In the production method of the present invention, a gene recombinant microorganism enabling direct production of cis-5-hydroxy-L-pipecolic acid can be used. The present invention also provides such a gene recombinant microorganism. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a gene recombinant microorganism having DNAs encoding proteins involved in the biosynthesis of L-pipecolic acid and a DNA encoding a protein having the L-pipecolic acid cis-5-hydroxylase activity is cultured in a medium, and cis-5-hydroxy-L-pipecolic acid is collected from the medium.
