A method for producing vitamin K2 comprising: culturing Bacillus natto in
a liquid medium to obtain a Bacillus natto culture or culture supernatant
thereof, wherein the culture or culture supernatant contains vitamin K2;
treating the culture or culture supernatant with at least one coagulant
selected from the group consisting of an inorganic coagulant and a
cationic polymer coagulant, with the proviso that the coagulant excludes
chitosan, so as to obtain a treated coagulant to which vitamin K2 is
absorbed or aggregated; separating the treated coagulant from the treated
culture or culture supernatant, and obtaining an oily product that
contains vitamin K2 from the separated coagulant.
