Cyanobacterial Mn-catalase ‘KatB’: Molecular link between salinity and oxidative stress resistance
Catalases are ubiquitous enzymes that detoxify H2O2 in virtually all organisms exposed to oxygen. The filamentous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium, Anabaena PCC 7120, shows the presence of 2 genes (katA and katB) that encode Mn-catalases. We have recently shown that pre-treatment of Anabaena with NaC...
