Abstract
Cultures of Methylomonas J, an aerobic methylotrophic bacterium, were grown both in Mn-rich and Fe-rich media. Crude extracts of the cultures from the Mn-rich and Fe-rich medium showed a specific activity of 12.2 and 0.6 units/mg by a cytochrome c-xanthine oxidase method and 19.4 and 1.3 units/mg by an ESR method, respectively. We isolated Mn-SOD and Fe-SOD from the bacteria grown in the Mn-rich and Fe-rich mediums, respectively. Specific activity and metal contents of the Mn-enzyme were 2,250 units/mg/g-atom Mn and Mn = 0.98 and Fe = 0.12 (g-atoms/mol dimer), while those of the Fe-enzyme were 61 units/mg/g-atom Fe and Mn = 0.02 and Fe = 1.08. No difference of physicochemical properties of the Fe- and Mn-enzymes were detected. Furthermore, enzyme activity was restored by dialysis of an apoprotein obtained from the Fe-enzyme with either manganese sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate.Keywords
