Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a class of enzymes that catalyze the disproportionation of superoxide anion radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. It can remove excessive free radicals in organisms and acts as a potent antioxidant, cleaning free radicals generated by radiation and protecting cells from oxidative damage. In this study, we obtained a MnSOD gene from the radiation-resistant bacterium
