PEPTIDE SYNTHASE GENE, PEPTIDE SYNTHASE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING DIPEPTIDE

摘要

It is intended to provide a process for industrially advantageously producing a dipeptide via a convenient pathway starting with less expensive and easily available materials. Namely, a dipeptide is produced from an L−amino acid ester and a L−amino acid by using a culture of a microorganism capable of synthesizing the dipeptide from the L−amino acid ester and the L−amino acid, or optionally processed microbial cells separated from this culture.
