(57) [Summary] [Structure] By the action of a transformed microorganism transformed with a recombinant plasmid in which a halohydrin epoxidase enzyme gene DNA derived from a microorganism is ligated to a vector plasmid, in the presence of alkali cyanide, A method for producing a 3-hydroxynitrile compound from a 1,2-epoxy compound. [Effect] By using a transformed microorganism in which a large number of halohydrin epoxidase genes cloned by a gene recombination method are present in the cells, it is possible to efficiently produce a 3-hydroxynitrile compound. |
