A recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum strain for production of glutaric acid, the strain being transformed with an expression vector comprising nucleotide sequences encoding a 5-aminovalerate aminotransferase (DavT), a glutarate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (DavD), a lysine 2-monooxygenase (DavB), a delta-aminovaleramidase (DavA), and a H30 or H36 promoter,
- wherein the nucleotide sequence encoding the lysine 2-monooxygenase (DavB) comprises SEQ ID NO:
- 5,
- wherein the expression vector further comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a polyhistidine-tag (His-tag) located at the 5′-terminus of the nucleotide sequence encoding the lysine 2-monooxygenase (DavB).
