Enhanced Production of Vitamin K2 from Bacillus subtilis (natto)by Mutation and Optimization of the Fermentation Medium
The aim of this study was to enhance the production of vitamin K2 by using N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitroso-guanidine (NTG) and low energy ion beam implantation and optimizing the fermentation medium. Mutation resulted in 1.66-fold higher production of vitamin K2 than that of the parentl strain. The produ...
