Common food bacteria could help make vitamins cheaper, greener
A new study reveals how Lactococcus 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. "Vitamin-producing microbes could transform nutrition and medicine, but we must first decode their inherent checks and balances," said Caroline Ajo‑Franklin, co-corresponding author of the study, the Ralph and Looney Professor of Biosciences, director of the Rice Synthetic Biology Institute and a Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas Scholar.
