摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To find a means for providing ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids or ω-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters in a sufficient amount especially in a medium enclosing cells by fermentation.

SOLUTION: The Candida tropicalis cell, especially Candida tropicalis cell from strain ATCC20336 is a cell having reduced activity of at least one enzyme encoded by an intron-free nucleic acid sequence selected from two groups including a specific group in comparison with a wild type of the cell. The use of the cell is provided. The methods for producing ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids and ω-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters are provided.
