Unlabelled: In this study, a novel colorimetric screening method for identifying menaquinone-7 (MK-7) producing strains was established using potassium permanganate. To our knowledge, this method represents the first direct screening methodology for the identification of MK-7 producing strains. Utilizing this screening method, a new MK-7 producing strain, GSA-184, was identified from the soil of the Tibetan Plateau. Under the optimized fermentation medium (50 g/L glycerol, 30 g/L yeast extract powder, 100 g/L soybean peptone, 1 g/L KHPO, and 1 g/L MnSO), the production of MK-7 was increased to 25.7 mg/L. Additionally, the maximum production of MK-7 reached 36.46 mg/L after 48 h in a 5-L fermenter.

Soil microbes play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycling and are a valuable resource for discovering novel taxa with environmental applications. This study aimed to explore rhizospheric microbial diversity for potential biotechnological and ecological relevance. The taxonomic placement of strain NCCP-28 was determined through polyphasic characterization.

Background: Menaquinone-7 (MK-7), a type of vitamin K (VK), is considered to be a health-promoting functional ingredient in the current recommended dietary supply. However, it is a challenge to isolate high-yield MK-7-producing strains with reasonable safety from natural food, which further limits their use as starter culture.
Results: In this study, an MK-7 production strain derived from commercial natto with a yield of 2.

Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) plays a key role in bone and cardiovascular health, and it is often included in multivitamin supplements and functional foods. The aim of this study is the development and validation, according to ICH guidelines, of a fast, highly sensitive, and reliable reverse-phase HPLC-UV quantification of vitamin K as MK-7 in a common biological matrix sample, such as fermentation broth medium from , with the advantage of single-step extraction and short analysis time. MK-7 was successfully isolated from the fermentation broth and its interfering residues by thermo-acidic extraction using 5% HSO and ethanol, without derivatization, and was retained using a C8 column.
