A hydrolyzing/dehydration condensing enzyme having the following physical and chemical properties (1) to (3):
- (1) function and substrate specificity:
- the enzyme catalyzes a hydrolyzing or dehydration condensing reaction of an amide bond;
- (2) an optimal temperature range of about 55° C.;
- and
- (3) an optimal pH range of 6-8.
A method for producing a hydrolyzing/dehydration condensing enzyme, which comprises the steps of incubating a microorganism belonging to a Streptomyces genus and having an ability of producing an enzyme for hydrolyzing/dehydration condensing an amide bond, and collecting the hydrolyzing/dehydration condensing enzyme from a culture thereof.
