A novel glucose dehydrogenase, which is an enzyme that has high substrate
specificity, can be produced at a low cost, is not affected by oxygen
dissolved in a measurement sample and, in particular, has superior
thermal stability is obtained by culturing a microorganism belonging to
the genus Burkhorderia and having glucose dehydrogenase producing ability
in a medium and collecting glucose dehydrogenase from the medium and/or
cells of the microorganism.
