Disease relevance of sod

We cloned and sequenced a 2.7-kb fragment of chromosomal DNA from Clostridium perfringens containing the superoxide dismutase-encoding gene, sod [1].
Superoxide dismutase in some obligately anaerobic bacteria [2].

High impact information on sod

Transcriptional analysis of the rubrerythrin and superoxide dismutase genes of Clostridium perfringens [1].
C. perfringens possesses specialized genes that might be involved in this adaptive process, such as those encoding superoxide dismutase (SOD), superoxide reductase and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, but their contribution to the oxidative stress response and their control mechanisms are unknown [3].
