1. A method for producing a non-amino organic acid from an organic raw material, comprising reacting bacterial cells or treated bacterial cells of a coryneform bacterium with the organic raw material in an aqueous medium and collecting the non-amino organic acid, wherein the bacterial cells or the treated bacterial cells are allowed to react with the organic raw material while neutralizing the aqueous medium with magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide.
