The present invention relates to a method for preparing optically active N-methylamino acids and/or optically active N-methylamino acid amides by subjecting the cells or treatment products of a microorganism belonging to the
Mycoplana
genus to the hydrolysis with N-methylamino acid amide to give an optically active N-methylamino acid and an optically active N-methylamino acid amide. According to the present invention, optically active N-methylamino acids and optically active N-methylamino acid amides useful as the raw material of pharmaceuticals can be stereoselectively obtained with good efficiency.
