Escherichia coli, lacking cytoplasmic superoxide dismutases, exhibits a variety of oxygen-dependent phenotypic deficits. Enrichment of the growth medium with Mn(II) relieved those deficits. Extracts of cells grown on Mn(II)-rich medium exhibited superoxide dismutase-like activity that was due partially to low-molecular-weight and partially to high-molecular-weight complexes. The high-molecular-weight activity was sensitive to proteolysis. Hence this activity is likely associated with low-affinity binding of Mn to proteins. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
