Abstract
A process for industrially advantageously producing a dipeptide via a convenient pathway starting with less expensive and easily available materials is provided. A dipeptide is produced from an L-amino acid amide and an L-amino acid by using a culture of a microbe capable of synthesizing the dipeptide from the L-amino acid amide and the L-amino acid, microbial cells separated from the culture or a treated microbial cell product from the microbe. An L-amino acid amide hydrolase is obtained from a microbe belonging to the genus, genus, genus, genus, genus, genus, genus, genus, genus, genus, genusor genus. The hydrolase catalyzes a reaction that produces a dipeptide from an L-amino acid amide and an L-amino acid.
