Abstract
A method for producing a fermentative product by utilizing a microorganism, the method comprising culturing the microorganism in a medium to produce and accumulate the fermentative product in the medium, and collecting the fermentative product, wherein the microorganism expresses a heat shock protein derived from a hyperthermophilic archaeon strain KOD-1 in a cell of the microorganism by introduction of a gene coding for the heat shock protein.
