FPSA - Common food bacteria could help make vitamins cheaper and greener
A new study reveals how Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis), a common food bacterium, regulates the production of a key precursor in vitamin K₂ (menaquinone) biosynthesis. The bacteria produce enough of this precursor to support their growth while preventing toxic buildup.Read MoreThe post Common food bacteria could help make vitamins cheaper and greener appeared first on FPSA.
