<p>The present invention provides a novel process for producing a sulfur-containing a-amino acid compound such as methionine. A process for producing a sulfur-containing a-amino acid compound represented by the formula (2): wherein R1 represents hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms; comprising a step of reacting a sulfur-containing amino alcohol compound represented by the formula (1): wherein R1 is the same as defined above, with a microbial cell or a processed product of the microbial cell of a microorganism capable of converting the sulfur-containing amino alcohol compound into a corresponding sulfur-containing a-amino acid compound.</p> |
