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
erwinia,
genus
Rhodococcus,
genus
Chryseobacterium,
genus
Micrococcus,
genus
Cryptococcus,
genus
Trichosporion,
genus
Rhodosporidium,
genus
Sporobolomyces,
genus
Tremela,
genus
Torulaspora,
genus
Sterigmatomyces
or genus
Rhodotorula.
The hydrolase catalyzes a reaction that produces a dipeptide from an L-amino acid amide and an L-amino acid.
