Abstract excerpt
The expression of sodA, the Escherichia coli gene encoding manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is induced by aerobiosis and superoxide generators such as paraquat. Analysis of variants expressing sodA in the absence of oxygen has revealed that mutations in genes for two global regulatory syste...
