  • Title: Manganese oxidation by an intracellular protein of a Pseudomonas species.
    Author: Jung WK, Schweisfurth R.
    Journal: Z Allg Mikrobiol; 1979; 19(2):107-15. PubMed ID: 39383.
    Abstract:
    Cultures of a Pseudomonas sp. strain MnB 1 produce an intracellular, manganese oxidizing protein (abbrev. as Mn ox. protein) during the stationary phase of growth. This protein is heat labile, can be inactivated by protease and has a pH-optimum for manganese oxidation at pH 7.0. Mn2+ is oxidized only at concentrations below 3-10(-5) M. The occurrence of the protein is not dependent on the presence of Mn2+, but is clearly related to the cessation of growth after the end of the exponential growth phase. Oxygen, coenzymes, and low molecular weight components of the cell extract seem not to be involved in the reaction as electron acceptors for the oxidation of Mn2+. Continued manganese oxidation by Mn ox. protein results in a progressive decrease in activity which corresponds to the amount of formed manganese oxide.
