Abstract excerpt
The manganese-containing isozyme of superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is synthesized by Escherichia coli only during aerobiosis, in accordance with the fact that superoxide can be formed only in aerobic environments. In contrast, E. coli continues to synthesize the iron-containing isozyme (FeSOD) even...
