Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are antioxidant enzymes that catalyze the conversion of superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen using metals as cofactors. Combating oxidative stress by SODs is an essential mechanism for life, as it prevents damage to macromolecules caused by the superoxide radical. Opportunistic pathogenic bacteria such as Chromobacterium violaceum are also exp…
