Patent ID: 7901923

Claim:
A microorganism belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae transformed with nucleic acids comprising: a polynucleotide of Neurospora crassa , which encodes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 9 having N-trimethyllysine hydroxylase activity; a polynucleotide of Neurospora crassa , which encodes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 10 having 3-hydroxy-6-N-trimethyllysine aldolase activity; a polynucleotide of Neurospora crassa , which encodes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 11 having γ-trimethylaminoaldehyde dehydrogenase activity; and a polynucleotide of Neurospora crassa , which encodes the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 12 having γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase activity.
