Abstract
This invention is intended to produce 2-butanol with excellent productivity via a fermentation process. Recombinant microorganisms into which the acetoacetyl-CoA synthase gene and a group of genes (i.e., genes involved in 2-propanol synthesis) encoding a set of enzymes synthesizing 2-propanol from acetoacetyl-CoA have been introduced are cultured, so that, in addition to 2-propanol, 2-butanol is produced at a high level in a medium.
