Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a recombinant microorganism simultaneously comprising genes encoding enzymes used in the biosynthesis pathway of 6-aminocaproic acid, which is a precursor of caprolactam, biosynthesizing 6-aminocaproic acid from the microorganism, and producing the same so as to synthesize caprolactam.
