is manganese an oxidizer
Abstract. The âmanganese-oxidizing groupâ is a phylogenetically diverse assemblage, which is characterized by the ability to catalyze the oxidation of divalent, soluble Mn(II) to insoluble manganese oxides of the general formula MnO x (where X is some number between 1 and 2).abitats of manganese-oxidizing bacteria: the two well-characterized general environments where one might expect to encounter natural enrichments of Mn-oxidizing bacteria. Mn(II) is also continuously supplied by inputs of anoxic (reduced) water into aerobic environments (Fig. 2, part II).
