NattÅ is produced by fermentation by adding the bacterium Bacillus natto to boiled soybeans.attokinase can now be produced by recombinant means and in batch culture, rather than relying on extraction from NattÅ. Nattokinase was first isolated and marketed under the name of NSK-SD in 1998 by Japan Bio Science Laboratory, which had removed vitamin K2.
