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