Abstract excerpt
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) have been shown to exhibit high levels of conservation and exist in almost all aerobic organisms and even many strict anaerobes. There are four SODs in Bacillus cereus 0-9, and this coexistence of multiple homologous enzymes is of great significance in the evolution of bacteria. We hypothesized that the four sod genes in B. cereus 0-9 constituted non-redundant protection against...
