Development of novel approaches for industrial fermentation of menaquinone-7
… and therefore must be supplied in the diet. Menaquinones (MK) together with phylloquinone (PK) fall under the common name ‘vitamin K’. Recent studies show that dietary intake of menaquinones results in more health benefits than phylloquinone. Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) plays an important role in …

Fermentation of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7): Development of an optimal fermentation process to selectively enhance the production of the biologically significant all-trans isomer
… namely vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), vitamin K2 (menaquinones), and vitamin K3 (menadione), which share a common 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone moiety but differ in the structure of a lateral isoprenoid chain at the 3-position. Despite their structural similarities, all K vitamers have different …

Targeting isoprenoid and quinone biosynthesis for antimicrobial discovery
… of action, and inhibition. HepPPS is involved in menaquinone biosynthesis, a key electron transporter in many pathogens. It is a heterodimer consisting of a catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. High concentrations of substrates (FPP and IPP) inhibit the enzyme, which is also inhibited by …
