Abstract
The present invention provides a method for industrially advantageously producing (S)-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid and for producing compounds which are formed by biosynthesis from the precursor (S)-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid, for example, for producing the compounds (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-L-glutamic acid and (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-L-proline, using a recombinant microorganism carrying a recombinant DNA harboring the DNA fragment encoding 4(S)-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid aldolase gene.
