Abstract
A microorganism of the genus Rhodococcus is provided which has a higher sensitivity to lysozyme at a low concentration than a wild-type strain, which can easily cause cell lysis, and from which a recombinant protein expressed therein is easily recovered. More specifically, a mutant microorganism of the genus Rhodococcus having a higher sensitivity to lysozyme than a wild-type microorganism of the genus Rhodococcus.
