Abstract excerpt
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutases ([Cu,Zn]-SODs) are ubiquitous in eukaryotes but have rarely been found in prokaryotes. A gene for [Cu,Zn]-SOD (sodC) has recently been cloned from Haemophilus influenzae type b and H. parainfluenzae, so other Haemophilus and related species were screened for the presence of [Cu,Zn]-SODs by visualization of bands of SOD activity in non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels and by gene...
