ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a process for producing ubiquinone-10 using a microorganism having the ability to form ubiquinone-10 and having one or more properties selected from the group consisting of the property wherein geranylgeranyltransferase activity is reduced or defective, the property wherein decaprenyldiphosphate synthetase activity is strengthened, and the property wherein p-hydroxybenzoic acid-decaprenyltransferase activity is strengthened, DNA and a polypeptide useful for the production process, microorganisms useful for the production, a method for expressing a gene in the microorganisms, and a method for breeding the microorganisms.
