    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: The present invention provides a method of producing a nitrile from a primary amide, characterized in that the primary amide is subjected to a dehydration reaction in a supercritical fluid in the presence of an acid catalyst. The present invention achieves the object of reducing the corrosion of a reactor and the thermal decomposition of raw materials, as well as provides the effect of improving the reaction rate and nitrile selectivity.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a genetically modified microorganism into which a nucleic acid encoding an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction to reduce 3-oxoadipyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA is introduced. In the genetically modified microorganism, a nucleic acid encoding any one of the polypeptides described in (a) to (c) below is introduced or expression of the polypeptide is enhanced: (a) a polypeptide composed of an amino acid sequence represented by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 and 213, (b) a polypeptide composed of the same amino acid sequence as any one of the amino acid sequences, except that one or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, inserted, and/or added, and having enzymatic activity that catalyzes a reaction to reduce 3-oxoadipyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA, and (c) a polypeptide composed of an amino acid sequence with a sequence identity of not less than 70% to any one of the amino acid sequences and having activity to reduce 3-oxoadipyl-CoA to 3-hydroxyadipyl-CoA.
