The Mn(II) in L. plantarum, which constitutes a functional replacement for superoxide dismutase, is primarily associated with a complex large enough to be retained by a 0.45-.mu.m cutoff ultrafilter. This ligand retards, but does not entirely prevent, dialysis of the Mn(II) from cell extracts. EDTA, but not Pi, rapidly displaces this endogenous ligand. Streptococcus faecalis, which unlike L. plantarum does not accumulate large amounts of Mn(II), does not contain a large Mn(II)-restraining ligand. L. plantarum accumulates .apprx. 60 mM phosphate as high MW polyphosphate. There are .apprx. 2 residues of phosphate, as nondialyzable polyphosphate/Mn(II) in these cells. Growth in phosphate-deficient medium decreases the cell content of polyphosphate and prevents accumulation of Mn(II). Polyphosphate does bind Mn(II), and Mn(II)-polyphosphate exhibited an .**GRAPHIC**. activity which was similar to that of the Mn(II) in cell extracts. The ESR of Mn(II)-polyphosphate, in the presence of Pi and NaCl, approximated that of cell extracts. Proteolytic digestion of cell extracts decreased the apparent size of the Mn(II)-ligand, allowing it to pass a 0.2-.mu.m filter. The Mn(II) in L. plantarum is apparently associated with polyphosphate-protein aggregates.
