AbstractNatto, fermented food produced by Bacillus subtilis natto (B. subtilis natto), is widely consumed around the world, and its potential health functions are attracting attention. Natto has been reported to have a variety of bioactive compounds such as levan, menaquinone‐7, nattokinase, and others. Such bioactive compounds produced by B. subtilis natto are deeply involved in the function of natto, because they are consequently contained in natto. This review summarizes bioactive compounds and its functions of (1) B. subtilis and its subspecies, (2) B. subtilis natto. Overall, natto is a natural source of bioactive compounds and is expected to be applied to functional foods.
