CONTRIBUTION OF A CLASS II RIBONUCLEOTIDE REDUCTASE TO THE MANGANESE DEPENDENCE OF Streptococcus sanguinis
Manganese-deficient Streptococcus sanguinis mutants exhibit a dramatic decrease in virulence for infective endocarditis and in aerobic growth in manganese-limited media. Loss of activity of a manganese-dependent, oxygen-dependent ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) could explain the decrease in virulence...
