PURPOSE:To efficiently produce an oxyketone useful as an organic synthetic raw material, etc., by reacting a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium or Saccharomycopsis with butanediol or pentanediol. CONSTITUTION:A microorganism, e.g. Corynebacterium sp. ATCC15570, Saccharomycopsis lipolytica IFO0746, etc., belonging to the genus Corynebacterium of Saccharomycopsis and having the ability to oxidize a diol is used to oxidize at least one diol selected from butanediol and pentanediol to give an oxyketone, The microorganism may be any of microbial cells, immobilized microbial cells, etc., and extract of the microbial cells. |
