Electron Transfer Components of Manganese Oxidizing Bacteria

  • Chapter
Advances in Membrane Biochemistry and Bioenergetics

Abstract

Unlike ferrous iron, manganous manganese does not autoxidize readily below 8(1). Yet manganous manganese is oxidized at a as low as 5 in nature (2,3). This oxidation is usually the result of bacterial or fungal activity. Bacteria may promote the oxidation enzymatically or non-enzymatically whereas fungi appear to promote it only non- enzymatically. Non-enzymatic oxidation below 8 is the result of interaction of Mn(II) with specific metabolic products formed by certain microbes.
