Transformed cell having ability to produce 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid

Abstract

Provided are a transformed cell having the ability to produce 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acids, and a method for producing 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acids using the same. The present invention provides a transformed cell having the ability to produce 2,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acids, the transformed cell being derived from a microbe having the ability to biosynthesize 4-aminobenzoic acids and having the enhanced expression of the following polypeptides (I) and (II): (I) a polypeptide having 4-aminobenzoic acid hydroxylation activity, and (II) a polypeptide having 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate 2,3-dioxygenase activity.
