Abstract
The present invention relates to a creatine amidinohydrolase gene coding for the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 2, a recombinant DNA comprising the creatine amidinohydrolase gene inserted into a vector DNA, and a process for producing creatine amidinohydrolase by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia carrying said recombinant DNA and having the ability to produce creatine amidinohydrolase in medium and then recovering creatine amidinohydrolase from the culture. According to the present invention, creatine amidinohydrolase can be efficiently produced without adding creatine to medium.
