The coding sequence for an iron superoxide dismutase (fe-sod) was amplified from the Nostoc commune genome. Recombinant Fe-SOD was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, accounting for ~76% of total bacterial protein. Fe-SOD was purified from bacterial lysate by Ni-NTA column chromatography and used to...
