ABSTRACT:
The present invention is intended to provide a novel gene originating in an acetic acid bacterium, which participates in temperature tolerance; a method of improving the temperature tolerance of a microorganism, in particular, an acetic acid bacterium using the above gene; and a method of efficiently producing vinegar having a higher acetic acid concentration with the use of an acetic acid bacterium whose temperature tolerance has been improved.
