PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound useful as a raw material for 1,4- dicarboxylic acid, etc. industrially advantageously, by cultivating a bacterium belonging to the genus Brevibacterium or Microbacterium, capable of producing muconic acid, by the use of benzoic acid as a carbon source. CONSTITUTION:A bacterium (e.g., Brevibacterium flavum ATCC13826, etc.) belonging to the genus Brevibacterium or Microbacterium, capable of producing muconic acid, is cultivated in a medium using benzoic acid as a carbon source, comprising peptone, yeast extract, NaCl, and sodium benzoate, and muconic acid is separated from the culture mixture.
