Accumulation of soluble menaquinones MK-7 in honey coincides with death of Bacillus spp. present in honey

Long-chain menaquinones (MK) are of bacterial origin. We investigated the possibility that MKs observed in honey are also the products of bacteria present in honey. The bacterial composition of honey was analyzed using culture-dependent methods. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MALDI-TOF showed prevalen...
