Changes in menaquinone concentration during growth and early sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

J Bacteriol. 1974 Jan;117(1):324-6. doi: 10.1128/jb.117.1.324-326.1974.

Abstract

In two strains of Bacillus subtilis, menaquinone-7 has been shown to reach maximal cellular concentrations during early stationary phase. These concentration changes closely parallel the previously reported concentration changes in the cytochromes.
