Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is produced by plants, it is used as a redox cofactor in plants and cyanobacteria. Vitamin K1 is converted into vitamin K2 in the gut by intestinal microbiota. Hemin and Vitamin K1have been shown to enhance the growth of many anaerobes including Bacteroides species and certain gram-positive non-spore formers organisms.
