PURPOSE:To prepare an omega-halocarboxylic acid from an alkyl or alkenyl halide by using a yeast belonging to the genus Candida. CONSTITUTION:A yeast such as Candida guilliermondii KSM-B-24 (FERM-P7309) belonging to the genus Candida, capable of converting an alkyl or alkenyl halide into a corresponding omega-halocarboxylic acid, is cultivated in a medium containing 6-22C alkyl or alkenyl halide at 28-35 deg.C at 6.5-8pH under aerobic conditions for 3-5 days, and the omega-halocarboxylic acid is collected from the culture solution. |
