Abstract: Disclosed is a genetically modified microorganism that produces 3-hydroxyadipic acid, α-hydromuconic acid. or adipic acid in high yield. A nucleic acid encoding any one of the polypeptides described in (a) to (c) below is introduced or the expression of the polypeptide is enhanced and the function of pyruvate kinase is impaired in the genetically modified microorganism: (a) a polypeptide composed of an amino acid sequence represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 7; (b) a polypeptide having the same amino acid sequence as any one of those amino acid sequences, except that one or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, inserted, andor added, and having an enzymatic activity that catalyzes a reaction to reduce 3-oxoadipyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA; (c) a polypeptide composed of an amino acid sequence with a sequence identity of not less than 70% to any one of those amino acid sequences and having an enzymatic activity that catalyzes a reaction to reduce 3-oxoadipyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA.

Abstract: A method for selective production of ε-caprolactam, wherein a substance inducible from a biomass resource is used as a material; the reaction process is short; ammonium sulfate is not produced as a by-product; and production of by-products is suppressed; is disclosed. The method for producing ε-caprolactam comprises the step of reacting a particular compound inducible from a biomass resource, such as α-hydromuconic acid, 3-hydroxyadipic acid, or 3-hydroxyadipic acid-3,6-lactone, or a salt thereof with hydrogen or ammonia.
