The present invention provides : the production of a hydroxylated fatty acid by a hydration reaction using a novel enzyme which is derived from a lactic acid bacterium and of which the substrate is a fatty acid; and a method for producing an oxo fatty acid by an enzymatic reaction or a chemical oxidation reaction in which the hydroxylated fatty acid serves as a substrate. The present invention also provide a novel rare fatty acid which is produced by one of the above-mentioned methods and has a utility value.
