PROCESS FOR PRODUCING COENZYME Q10

摘要

It is intended to provide a process for efficiently producing coenzyme Q10 with the use of a microorganism wherein a coenzyme Q10 side chain synthesis gene originating in a fungus belonging to the genus Bulleromyces is used. A DNA comprising the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1; a DNA having a base sequence derived from the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 by deletion, addition, insertion and/or substitution of one or more bases and encoding a protein having a decaprenyl diphosphate synthase activity; or a D NA being hybridizable with the DNA comprising the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 under stringent conditions and having a decaprenyl diphosphate synthase activity.
